why arent they charging?!

[eladyank]

every now and than when i attack or defend the foe wont come to me!
i need to go ALL the way to him and it gives him the home court advantage because he's reinforcements are close and mine are far away..
and besides its frustrating to go all the way to the enemy and half oh my hp is wasted because of their arrows..
why dont the enemy charge to me as well?
(ps i doent happen in EVERY battle , it happens every now and than,,.)

That's the changes to the enemy AI in this mod so that they are harder.

It's been recommended that if you don't like their current formation that you retreat and fight them again and see if it's for your liking.

Formations are great, grab some grenades and have at em.

Hehe or brave forward with your archers/gunners and fire a few rounds before running back to moma's army ^_^ covered by thy infantry and cavs!

Turn off Realistic Tactics, if you'd like them to charge, instead of refusing to attack because it's not what they think will work.  IIRC, that works correctly now.

Well I always have realistic tactics OFF because in every single Lord battle it took ages for them to charge...

Another problem is that if you go and join a battle that's being fought primarily by two large armies...then neither will charge. Enjoy taking on 2600 men with your pale 150; the 3000 men belonging to your allies won't make a move

I'd say carry a bow and get a headshot in, on the lord in command of the friendly army. May not work in this mod, but in others taking out the commander makes troops ignore the commands and just charge. If it doesn't work least it's satisfying.

I am willing to bet that for everyone there is a point at which you face something just like SK said,
or just a battle where you are outnumbered 10:1 and the enemy STILL refuses to move till you all go step on their toes.
Though I understand it from the perspective of the a.i. improvement somewhat, this is still fairly nonsensical imo,
and feels sort of like a goofy out-of-place "feature" in-game,
where the mod is otherwise brilliant.
