Chazar,
Sure I don't have the algorithm, but sure also ANY fighting unit (and certainly an equipped berzerk Niefel !) at 5 squares is more threatening than routers 20 squares across ...

I disagree:
Consider a single militia man, gone berserk by spell, which was in his own squad, put on a rear flank with "hold and attack rearmost". Now the battle is almost over, the wounded enemy masses are fleeing into a friendly province just to heal, regroup and attack again, but your heavy infantry which has advanced to the other end of the battlefield (since it was ordered to attack archers) could easily dispatch those fleeing units. But instead, they let those fleeing units unharmed and chase after that single militia man, which they wont even reach in time!
I would rather have my infantry finish of those fleeing units, or at least I would want some of them to chase the militia man, but certainly not
all of them! Different circumstances should really matter (including distance as you have already pointed out), hence my suggestion below!
