1. How to deal with Living Statues? (and other high prot non-undead MBs I guess)
2. Why did my Bane Lord charge into the middle of the undead army and get surrounded, instead of flying to the back and offing leaders like he was ordered to? He only flew halfway down the battlefield.
3. Does the AI assume peace after X turns of no conflict? Caelum just declared war on me again - I didn't notice we'd ever not been at war, but it's true that a few turns had elapsed since we Last fought.
4. If I equip a Bane Lord with a Flambeau or a Fire Brand, and a Burning Pearl, will he be safe from the fire effects?
Stay tuned - this is definitely my most interesting game yet!

1. Magic beings require a mage to command them. So if you kill the enemy's mages then the Statues will be destroyed. There are also a number of spells that should work on them, but I can't remember most of their names. Opposition is one of them. No doubt someone else can come up with more. And of course you can always beat them down with, say, a Gate Cleaver.
2. Attack Rearmost is a frustrating command. As I udnerstand it, units set with that order have to make some sort of check (a morale check?) for every group of enemies that they pass on the way to the rear. If they fail the check then they attack that group.
3. I don't know if the AI ever assumes peace, as you put it, or not. But I do know that fighting a battle with the AI does not necessarily mean you are at war with them. For instance, there have been times when the AI and I both attack the same Independent province, thus ending up fighting each other. Afterwards the AI did not come after me as if we were at war. Later on in the game, it declared war on me. That may be what happened to you and Caelum.
4. Are you asking if the fire protection bonuses from different items add up? Some do, some don't. There's a thread on this somewhere. It is kind of broken that way. Also, Last I heard Burning Pearls were borken, in that they give 100% fire protection when they're only supposed to give 50%.
