Rout

[luckymarine]

A disorganised retreat.

 

Not, to put on ones man pants and charge straight out the back of prepared defences.

 

I don't see how the AI can get away with this if I've not been able to replicate this tactic even once. A rout should send the enemy generally back on the same path from whence it came if that path is free of enemy.

True. I think we've all been complaining about this one for a while. I will say that in the latest patch, one of my infantry units routed a large enemy cavalry unit in melee in its front, and the cav unit turned around and ran away! In the past, they would have ghosted through my lines to regroup and wreak havoc back there later on. Improvement! Thanks devs.
