Cavalry problem - 11/17/2006 4:02:59 AM

Basically, the problem is that I am completely unable to get cavalry to charge anything. I've played a few different nations, made sure the cavalry has high morale, has full movement points available....and then sat there while the cavalry unit refuses to charge a disordered or routing enemy unit.

I'm pretty sure the problem is something that I'm doing, or not doing. Any ideas?

Three possible explanations:

1) If both the charging cavalry and the target of the charge and are next to another formed enemy unit (infantry or cavalry), then you may not conduct a charge attack. This is also a great way to protect your artillery from enemy cavalry charges.

2) You need at least 9 movement points to charge.

3) Your cavalry must face the target unit and not just be next to it.

It's definately not #2 or #3. I've had cavalry fail to charge when they had a full 16 movement points and are staring right at the enemy. I'll check on #1, but I don't think that's it either.

Does the cavalry unit charge immediately when the 'charge' button is pushed?

Once you press the "charge" button, then the cavalry should charge...if it's capable.
