How do you script the raptors effectively? I give them attack rear orders and they still kill themselves attacking the front lines.
'Attack Rear' only works as intended about 25% of the time, and depends a lot on how big the enemy army is and how it is deployed. Setting them to guard a flying commander, and the commander to (hold)(hold)(hold)(hold)(hold) Attack Rear works better. But the best way is if they have archers and you use the attack archers command.
I suspect (but I am not sure) that putting "Attack Rear" troops farther forward makes them attack closer to the enemy rear. "Hold and Attack : Rear" also gives the enemy troopers a chance to leave behind their vulnerable mages and priests.
