This is wrong wrong wrong. Someone give me a good argument why it can't be changed so that only the commander of the chaff regiment routs with his troops. So commanders without troops will only rout when they themselves are wounded/fatigued.

If commanders without troops don’t rout when the army routs, what happens to support mages and priests? Should they stay on the field and wait for the opposing army to come and mop them up?
If you are using a *real* army, the commander routing is probably what you *want* to happen.
Suppose I have one commander leading 50 heavy infantry, 3-4 mages casting spells and a couple of priests for morale. If the 50 infantry get killed that means I’ve almost certainly lost of the battle. If the mages and priests stick around they will just die, costing me more.
For situations like this, changing the routing system would be very detrimental. Do SCs really need the extra boost at the expense of conventional armies?
