Charging...

[Geox]

I've noticed that in battles a charging often stops a little before reaching the enemy and then after a small fraction of time the first line starts running leaving a big gap in between my unit.
I'm not an expert tactician, but I'm not really sure it helps win the battle..

That's indicative of a failed charge. Either your unit lost cohesion due to some buggish animation or you yourself didn't not set up the charge properly.

Practice the charge in many custom battles (Whatever unit you want to charge with vs. some peasants or swordsmen).

The first line charging thing happens sometimes, and it's annoying. I would personally watch and carefully micromanage any unit I send to charge. The very moment I see it start to fail due to whatever reason, I pull them back and set up another charge.

I find to charge you have to be straight at them because i have your problem too. I mean whenever the unit moves or if the knights have to turn the whoel thing is like messed up. Also they seem to stop when attacking people like Spearmen, i dono do the men have feelings in this game? They certainly cry alot.
