Hi guys,

Just found that Undrilled Superior Armored Light Spear Cav do not auto evade when been charged by Average HF Protected Of Spears.
They do evade against Superior HF Armored Of Spears.

Undrilled Sup Protected Light Spears Cav do evade against both.

Didnt check if the first ones do evade against Superior HF Protected Of Spears though.

Maybe they stood put to use the armor on the ensuing melee?

Mmm

Cheers!!

Keith said at some point that the AI evade took into consideration the chance of winning the combat overall rather than just impact, so the armour advantage should be taken into consideration. Personally I have never found a reliable way to predict when cavalry set for AI evade will actually do so and therefore prefer to use either of the other options if I think it's important that the cavalry stand or evade in a particular situation rather than taking a chance on AI evade. AI evade does seem a bit more reliable for skirmishers (LH and LF) so I'm more often to use it there.
