Default Re: problems with retreating SuperCombatant

Troops are the problem - they die and the commander retreats too. He wants a lone supercombatant, but instead is getting summons/enslave mind, then when those die or rout, the SC routs.

AFAIK, there are only two ways to stop this: one is to script him so that he won't cast enslave mind in the first place (end his script with Attack ), and the other is to make him go berserk. This may be difficult without nature magic though - there are some items that make the wielder start out berserk, and some that make him go berserk if wounded. For your situation you probably want the former, so that you don't have to depend on being wounded to make you stay in combat.

Does anyone have a complete list of items that cause immediate berserk? Fenris Pelt and Harvest Blade do, IIRC, but they're both artifacts.
