In the previous versions of the game I remember that setting horse archers to "charge" would make them circle the enemy while showering them with arrows, and "engage" will make them retreat from enemy's melee range while shooting as they retreat. In this version it doesn't seem to be working that way? I've sent them to charge and about half of them went melee and the other half was randomly walking around, shooting at the shieldwall's shields. What commands should I be using for Horse Archers? What formations (other than loose) submitted by /u/doulegun [link] [comments]
Ive noticed the main go to thing for AI is; some attempt to skirmish with archers, charge with cav and then when the enemy infantry is close ebough theyll charge with infantry. Horse archers seem to charge anytime the enemy turns their back and just die and god forbid you don't use default groups because it just screws up ai commanders.
To me the cav should be regarded as highest priority to keep alive, and should be more of a reserve guard and opportunistic flanker than the initial chargers.
