most of this thread is nonsense, because horses will NOT charge into a wall of spears!

but, that's the thing about tw.
you can.
it's all well and good what can/did happen.
a unit of conscript skirmishers would probably never charge headlong into elite cohors.
the TW engine allows this to happen. if everything were binded by "what actually happened" then we wouldn't have a game or simulation. we'd just have a bunch of computer generated models fighting each other according, explicity, to historical accounts.
Normally, they flatly refuse to charge a wall of men anyway spear or no. Them's the breaks with using what are basically giant rabbits as war mounts. But you don't apparently need much of a gap or disturbance in that (for the animal) solid obstacle for it to be willing to try entering.

we are graced with the ability to "right click, right click, right click GODDAMMIT RIGHT CLICK"
it would be interesting if in the future we were given less control of the units and were left simply to delegating orders. the problem with this of course is i don't think AI technology is quite good enough to support this without alot of bizarre outcomes and "inaccuracies"
You can try what it is like already. Creat groups, and place them under AI control.
Then switch back to DIY - that yields better results.

Aye. Back in the day commanders didn't have the luxury of button-mashing for effect.Originally Posted by runes
