cavalry men who have lost their horse charge into battle and get killed

[wanderer949]

this is a bit of a bug i reckon or an annoying problem

cavalry men who have lost their horse charge into battle and get killed or run around by themselves like lunatics.

such as the other day a khergit lancer lost his horse and instead of joining the infantry line (like mount and blade) he charged valiantly into a group of 6 rhod sergeants and was slaughted. is there going to be a change to this and go back to the MB way (more sensible)

same as troops who have a chance of getting horses (sometimes) they dont separate like MB. guys with horses into cavalry and guys without into infantry.


If such a thread that deals with this exists let me know and kill this thread

There is a thread about this exact issue in the privy council.  The suggested fix was to have a secondary designation for cavalry units for when they where dehorsed.  For instance their secondary designation could be any existing group.  We also suggested a secondary designation for archers as well for after they lost their ammo.  But the horse one is more crucial.

 

[Kleidophoros]

So dehorsed horsemen aren't infantry anymore? they are still cavalry?

 

[Berserker Pride]

Yup.  The old mount and blade assigned troops to units based on their equipment.  Now that groups are arbitrarily set by the player dehorsed units stay in the cavalry group.  And generally get strung out across the map.

Hmm okay thank you.
I didn't start SP campaign yet still waiting for a a patch or two.

is this going to be fixed??
Id prefer it went back to the old way(MnB) personally

i would also like the ai to mount a new horse if they lost their own and if there is one near them, don't know why they did not fix that till now...

I don't want to see my troops running for an horse in the whole map.

Then order them to mount...it's an order available to you via the function keys or the backspace menu.
When set on "Free", the default, the AI bots will do as they please. If you set them to "Mount", they should try to get back on a horse. Are you suggesting this doesn't work?

I think he means enemy cav, they dont get back on horses (no option/dude controlling them) they just run around like idiots

Have you tried this option though? They do run around like idiots, and I know it would be difficult to try it in the middle of a battle, (I lose so many frames I can't order my units too much when the battle actually begins), but the option is present.

yeah the mount thing works, I meant enemy bots don't have the option to remount/as in lords men)

the old way(MnB) of men who had lost their horse turning into infantry and returning to the line was way better.

yeah that's what i meant, i was talking about the enemy bots, i just think that "AI" should be "intelligent"...
