Re: routed units still fighting
Bodyguards, whoose commander
a) just left the battlefield. Those turn around and attack for some turns. (to cover his escape?)
b)is unconscious, so they defend him until he wakes up.
c)is dead, and they (the game engine..) doesn't know what to do with them. Haven't observed this, but I must admit that I didn't pay attention to such a detail. I'm satisfied if my troops slaughter their enemies...
