Unit commanders way out front...

[TTRouble]

Noticed in my Selecuids campaign that in some battles the unit commanders for all infantry are way out ahead of the unit like in the pic below:




I know these guys can be a wee bit eager to get right into the middle of a fight but watching them get hit by a heavy cavalary charge isn't funny.

strange...no idea why that is

Hi Tone

Its strange in that it doesn't happen in every battle but you do see it often and I've also seen it in my Macedon campaign too. I need to check if every infantry unit is doing it or just select ones.

I can confirm the officer bug isnt just him, ive experienced this as well.

I have noticed it too.....but not always out in front. Sometimes they will lag way behind the unit. I have no idea why this is, and there is not consistency to it.....Greek, Roman, whatever. They seem to all do it on rare occasion.
This is probably an RTW bug that was always there, but not seen very often because many, many units didn't use or have officers. We have pretty much made sure that almost ALL infantry units have officers wherever possible, even mercenaries.
So my guess is that we 'exaggerated' an pre-existing condition.

Its a Rome bug. I learned this the hard way when my faction leader wandered onto the front line even his bodyguards were safely in the rear.
