Found this on Matrix Games' public FTP server, I take it this is the Swords and Scimitars patch? I see little or no announcements so just checking...

Interesting new patch.
Certainly makes the armies full of Veteran Spearmen less of a no-brainer which is all to the good.
Not sure we are going to still see many Battle wagons fielded in MP though.

In my first solitaire game after the patch, my opponent's Standard Wagon turned away from facing front even though it is immune to flank/rear charge penalties. Losing the percentage loss adjustment for the SW caused my opponent's percentage to jump over 40% and the game was lost. This consideration should be factored into the AI.

Agreed. I will take a look at the code and fix the issue for a future update.
