In general, I prefer to cast 5 specific spells and then set them to fire rear. Hopefully those five spells will make a difference.

Maybe it´s better to make them just stay behind troops and hope they´ll decide to cast an enslave mind from time to time, through...

Yes, they will rout if you Enslave all the commanders. I was more thinking of it in terms of the really large battles - if he has 20 commanders and dozens of high HP elites, then you won't get all of them. But the casters that you do Enslave may have been scripted to cast very important buff spells. Or they may be communion slaves, dropping his communion a level, making him unable to cast the intended spells, and making remaining slaves take TONS more fatigue than expected, hopefully killing them. The carnage wrought by Enslaving casters is priceless. Same with Enslaving Elephants or other large elites. Remember, that Elephant will now be 50 Morale Mindless.
