Cavalery dont charge

[fate]

Hi,
Im not feel good with looking on my horseman starting a battle frontal attack just straight into the enemy - they dont charge with spears and lances but just run to the enemy and use swords or sabers without greatly devastaing them, just go to the regular fight for example early winged husars (poland)
Why ?!

It depends or something, weather? dunno early period?

Hi, fate! I don't know the details (the battle settings were made long time ago in first versions), but the charge was cutted down. Try to give the cavalry normal acceleration (it's means distance) and do not give additional commands after starting the movement.

it may be the repeating of orders than, thx for reply.
I play vh/vh and huge size of stacks

Repeating of orders might be received like the new order, I think. But I'm not the specialist in this aspect and may be wrong.
And the man who made those setings is out of our modding team now with high probability.

Anyway, huge size of units is not recommended, as I know, in any mod for MTW2 - problems with reposition, problems with movements on settlement walls and etc.

I got you fam. The problem is very easy to fix. You have to go to your OiM2 data folder and find your export_descr_units.txt file. You will need notepad++ to edit the file (google is your friend).

Open the file with notepad++, then go to the winged Hussars (ctrl+f winged_hussars)

This is what you have;

Edit the numerical value in red (stat_charge_dist 150) from 150 to 20. If you wanna go all out, I'd edit all heavy cav to 20 and all light cavalry to 15 (that's what I'm doing). Charge distance of 150 is absurd and breaks the game, makes your units unwieldy. Playing on huge settings doesn't break the game, it's fine. The inherent issues with units can mostly be fixed via the export_descr_units file. Hope this helps, enjoy

I also get a feeling you may be Polish (your PL location gave it away) I'm in the middle of translating the immediate Polish-Lithuanian cities to Polish, it's more immersive, as well as the names of the Polish characters (i.e. Zygmunt instead of Sigismund & Stanisław instead of Stanislaus) in case you're interested.
