Cavalry spreading

[Manoflooks]

Didnt the patch STOP cavalry spreading! Its 1000 times worse than it was inin vanilla! my cavalry charges take wayyyyyyyyyy more casualties than they would normally, because:
They charge the guys on the flanks, as ordered.
Most of the unit withdraws when ordered.
5 or 6 guys decide to run around the unit, attack the generals bodyguard, and fight off them and any spears that come to attack them
when you have 30 guys a unit(large sizes), thats a reasonably large loss.

Are you running the sub mod SSTC? If so the new horse animations cause massive cavalry spread. There is a fix in that mod thread under options.

If you are talking about the game without it, then sorry I can't help .

All the best

I don't normally retreat my cavalry after charge as I know it doesnt work out, I just use lots of them at once.

well yes good tactic,if you use heavy cavalry,heavy cavalry is made to stay in combat not charge and retreat,that task is for medium or light cavalry

Tick the option that says disable spread out horse fights.

For some reason I always have this problem with SSTC even after installing the fix. I no longer use SSTC.

Strange I have SSTC and the fix and I find that cavalry does it's job nicely
