Thanks for bring that back to the foreground. I played my first few games with standard troops and only really got into SCs thanks to Boron suggesting I check out ice devils. Only now do I see how odd it is that they flee when the chaff is killed even if they themselves are untouched. I'd really like a word from the devs on this. Maybe there's a reason why it wouldn't work. In the poll thread Boron said it would make battlemages too powerful, but I don't understand that. They don't usually have very high morale - and even if they did stay on the battlefield, they might well die once all the cannon fodder is gone.

if they would stay without troops i would guard them with some antisc SCS .
the battlemages would be quite save and do all the killing with their spells .
your point with 1 pd and then the SCS routing is very good .
If you attack you can send more than 1 SC in . it is dangerous though because if one is killed all flee .
for the PD issue there is only 1 solution which is expensive : make immortal SCS they don't rout in positive dominion which you should have in your own provinces .
wraith lords are excellent scs but very expensive .
panthers suggestion is bad because as you said this way SCS would never rout because they never fail a morale check . this would make them too powerful .
furthermore it would make one key feature of immortality useless : not routing in friendly dominion !
illwinter has really done an impressive job here with the current routing system . it is not intuitive and perhaps not realistic but balancewise it is perfect .
