Dear developers,
There has been a terrible (I would say) bug in commander battles in napoleonic wars.
Dragoons seem to very often, when told to use melee weapons, simply switch to the butt of their gun. The problem with this is the butt of the gun cannot be used while on horseback, and is very weak compared to the sword regardless. This happens when dismounted as well. I cannot tell the reasons it is done, sometimes they do it when I tell them to charge, sometimes when enemies get close.
But I really hope that, if this is the last patch, this can be fixed. Perhaps remove the ability for DRAGOON bots to switch between melee and range method with their gun, forcing them to use the sword for melee or shoot for range.
Again, I am not sure how exactly to fix the problem, but I complained once before in a nother thread and they said to delete the code which allows switching to melee method for cavalry musket. perhaps it would work if it is done for bots as used in commander battles. (think they assumed i was playing with just bots single player)
Please fix this problem with the dragoon bots in any way, it has caused me such frustration and ruins much of the fun in commander battles for me as dragoons.
should have asked olafson about it when i saw him on the beta server
