Does anyone notice this?

When you select two units and order them to do something, something is bound to go wrong but if it is just one unit that is ordered to do something they usually follow through. So is there anyway to just assign only one unit to a certain key?

Do you mean their movement? Happens to me too, if I select the whole army and order them to go to a certain point, half of the will run a different direction..

yeah they sometimes run opposite from where im clicking and sometimes archers charge at the enemies

Another thing is when the troops wont run, if you select 5-6 horsemen units, atleast 2 of them will have troops that walks, and eventually the others will join in.. Even if you press R countless times.

well my problem is that sometimes when I have two units of cavalry standing next to each other and I order them at the same time to attack a unit, they will just go for the nearest enemy unit wheather I wanted them to do so or not.

this only happens when your units are grouped...If they're not, they listen to me perfectly...They actually follow my orders so boldly, that sometimes they charge with thier horses into a phalanx

Aye, whatever formation they're in when their grouped thats the formation they'll enter when told to move somewhere. If you group them when they're moving things tend to get mixed up. I like to leave a group of spearmen on my flanks behind my line at a slight angle, I just make sure that I group them up at the right time and then give them the order to move.

My biggest problem has been my archers falling back behind the lines when an enemy starts to charge, they sometimes form at an angle so one side is still in front of the infantry. Im pretty sure that if you want them to make a line parallel to the infantry line you make your camera perpendicular to the line...
