Why no flank charge

Post by Cunningcairn »

Why does my cavalry unit not count as charging the flank of the Zealot in a deep stream? Does being in a deep stream protect the Zealots flank?

Looks like the pathing is taking them through the two tiles to the right before hitting them from the front. Try manually moving them to the diagonal tile in between and see if you can get the flank charge then. The streams do not give flank protection.
