(1.3.1) Issues with Suebian mass-charge

[Majo]

(this post is just for reason of completeness that all players know that the devs know about this and hopefully are working on it)

There are some issues with the Suebian mass charge:

• Some warriors don't take part in the charge, even if they can reach an enemy (seems to affect any type of Suebian warrior (of course except Sakutones))
• Warriors sometimes just run around without reaching enemies (I experienced this behaviour only at Jugunthis)
• Jugunthis take part in a charge when having equipped their javlins (Also only experienced with Jugunthis, not with Sakutones)

Also odd, but according to the devs no bug:

• The Skario cannot order his men to charge, if he has a bow in hands, he has to wield an axe

This is a bug, but in the future the Skario is able to opt to join the charge or not if he commands his units. For now, he will call the charge for his units, but not himself, regardless of the weapon he is using.

Soldiers will automatically find the nearest unit to charge. If they can't, the charge will not happen. Charges of more than one or two units targetting the same unit is tricky if the path is blocked, so that is probably what's happening. 

Jugunthis using javelins in charge is a bug, and maybe what's going on when they don't attack. We'll take a look.
