Infantry doesn't hold position

[Ritter Dummbatz]

This probably has been posted before but nevertheless.

Hi all,

first of all I am new to this mod so I might be wrong, I actually hope so that all I need is some information.
Alright, if I tell my infantry to hold position everything is fine. I now tell them to spread out and they start following me or they start running to the map's end.
In the last battle I charged on my horse and distracted a few of the incoming ones so I didn't notice that my infantry once again thought it would be cool to get outta here and that my commands don't make any sense. They were a mixture a lowest and low tier troops vs. outnumbered bandits..or murderers or some such.
So I would wonder if this has something to do with moral. Since they behave strange while I give commands I guess this is something that shouldn't be.

Thanks in advance for highly appreciated help!

I am using the latest patch and latest modversion (1.32).

whats the morale of your party dummbatz? low morale seems to be the most likely explanation for this disobedience...

@ragnarok: u mean those stupid fellows that lost england to the normans at hastings?

Now, after a little while I figured that it is a question of moral. And although I find it hard or at least expensive to have it high I start enjoying it. Just takes a little while to get used to it.

It also seems to me that if you are out of sight of some of your troops don't follow commands as well. That is of course reasonable in times where there is no radio. But am I right at this point or is it just an impression?

I still mutter a lot while gaming and never got captured this much before but in a weird way and not being amused at all , it is entertaining!

I guess my next game will definetly have the "personal revenge" attribute... 

Thx for your answers!

Well if it was really morale based, all of your troops would be affected i guess. For me at least it's not the case, only infantry is falling back, leaving my archers at a certain death in front of angry danes  RIP my one-time used camp woman...

Got to bump this

I'm having the same issue, Inf dosent hold not matter what, Even when moral is above avarage and i'm standing near them as someone here
mentiond insted of raiding off.

Archers do hold pos though, so what is it? even against a clearly inferior enemy the do not hold, and I foind out that it happens only if they are in a formation like ranks or shieldwall,
It dosent seem to happen when I cancel formation

Its realy bothers me, as for the rest of the mod I'm speechless, truly amazing work
