2) Target switching. This was talked about in another thread. In that thread it was noted that when a faster unit closes on a unit that if firing the firing unit won't switch to the newly close unit but instead keeps trying to attack the unit that was closest at the time the battle started.

Try the orders "Attack none" and "Fire none" for archers. This lets the AI choose your targets for you, and it will switch when your first target routs.

As for the AI targeting enemy commanders, I can't remember seeing it. Sure, I have had commanders die from missile fire, but it seemed more like a stray arrow meant for somebody else went their way. Anyway, I try to have at least two commanders in every battle (even if the second is just a scout or cheap priest), just to be on the safe side.
