Looking to see if this is just me or everyone and whether there is a solution.
First I'm not playing vanilla but Roma Surrectum or SPQR generally.
Problem is: Calvary often, very often will not attack the unit I direct them to attack. I will click on them to go attack the enemy archers for example; a charge which has them with a clear line of sight to get to them; yet they will ignore the order and charge into the line of spearmen/phalanx.
I want them to attack northeast they decide to attack southeast type of thing.
Usually its at least in the general direction I want them to go but sometimes they will even go in the exact opposite direction I want them to attack.
Basically my horsies really seem to have a mind of their own. And unfortunately usually that little voice tells them to charge the spears as fast as they can.
Again I'm not talking about a situation where they are charging the right enemy unit and accidentally clip a different enemy unit on the way which impedes their charge. I'm saying they clearly disobey orders and simply charge the closest enemy in any direction not the direction I want them to.
Also of note I can get them to go in the right direction if it is a spot on the map not an enemy unit but that is retarded and difficult to mange. Its just when it is attacking units they decide which unit they will attack. It is like they can't tell the enemy units apart all they hear is charge they enemy and they go beserk.
Why won't they listen to their glorious general? And yes applies even to the general's bodyguard unit.
Thanks in advance
