I think odd chances .

If you have only 1 squad of mech men and as many commanders as you wish your commanders will fight until all mech men are killed.
Commanders can fail their own morale checks though so if you use e.g. stuff like a knight commander thug he may fail his morale checks vs. false horrors and similiar and rout .

Caelian troops have pretty low morale so they rout easily .
Same for most caelian commanders .

Important to know is that only mindless morale 50 units like AE undeads , mech men and iron dragons never rout .
There is no mindless commander though afaik .
Even AQs , Tartarians and similiar have "only" 30 morale so in very rare cases they can rout by failing the commander morale throw though it is really extremely rare .

If enemy works with a lot of fear spells and fear units like false horror spamming , undeads etc. it can occasionally happen though .
