Default Re: commanders ignoring orders and running to a particular spot?

Either way same thing happens.

They ignor the orders and had for the very back center. WTF.

Is this a bug? Is it because they're out of range? What's going on?
It seems like they're trying to "Stay behind troops", and you have some troops near the center (probably archers). I don't know why they do that instead of casting Acid Bolt, but perhaps the enemies are still out of range.

Try scriptings them for "hold or cast" for the first few turns. If they don't have any innate magic, they only have one spell to cast, and at least they don't run away from their targets and thus out of range.
