Re: Commander Orders
The Archers will only retreat after the commander has departed the field, if he was the only commander. Otherwise, the archers will continue to shoot. After the battle, their squad will be disbanded and the commander's troops will enter the provincial dogpile and require reassignment. Otherwise, they will run when their only commander has removed his august presence from the battlefield: They will not rout until the commander is actually gone. Given that you ordered the commander to attack twice, he will have spent two rounds moving towards the enemy, so in all likelyhood, the archers will not retreat for at least 2 turns after the commander begins his own retreat.
Of course, if he gets killed doing that, the archers will immediately retreat!
