Infantry charge AI ( Warband v. 1.134 ) Video Included

Tried searching but to no avail.

The infantry charge seems to be bugged. This happens about half the battles
I fight which have infantry. The enemy does it and my troops do it.

What happens is that they charge at the enemy normally but they often change
their direction randomly which causes them to separate. You can see this on the video.

I just bought Warband and I really don't recall having this problem with earlier M&B-versions
so I figured it's a Warband-bug. It is a pretty big issue when using a smaller infantry force
(group separation and whatnot)

This happens with all my saves so I figure it really is a bug with AI.
I hope this isn't a game mechanic (why would it be a mechanic?).

I believe it's related to the routing which is implemented in warband; they can't make up their minds if they want to charge or turn around and run.

Yeah, I figured it has something to do with conflicting AI routines since I just tried 15 swadian sergeants against 10 looters and had the same thing happen.
