The way that it was explained to me as far as flying units go - they select their target, and move invisibly towards it (to "simulate" their flight). If their path is blocked, they stop and attack whatever is in their way (rather than fly over it, and maybe get..... poked with a spear or something). |
It's not quite that deterministic. It's more like the behavior of anyone set on attack rear. You'll see your cavalry move down the side, then suddenly veer in to attack a group in the middle. But sometimes they'll pass everyone and reach the rear. Fliers do the same thing, you just can't see it. I think there's some kind of check (morale based?) for each squad they pass.
