Fire largest and attack largest target the physically largest creatures.

Hrmmm, you're the guy with a lot of experience with Ermor's undead themes so perhaps you can confirm that using the "fire large creature" command would be a viable alternative if "fire rearmost" isn't an option? It seems that in Ashen Empire and Soul Gate themes that the largest creatures on the battlefield would be the commanders of the undead horde. Or does shoot largest creature order go for size over overall power? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Fire Largest would target the Behemoths and Bane Lords first, since they're the physically largest opponents: All of the other Ermorian hordelings are of regular human size. Commanders of Ermorian hordes are very good at blending in: Mound Kings are nearly entirely expendable and often attack en-masse with their troops, and Tribunes are also free, although they tend to hang back and may be susceptible to flier attack....if the fliers don't become confused and wind up attacking the back of the front pack instead.
Ok thanks for the answers guys. One Last question. If the order is to fire on enemy archers and there are none on the battle field(abysia for instance), who will they shoot at? Will they rush into battle instead? Does the AI take over at that point?
