I have a little feature request that I think would help quite a bit with battle strategies... I'd like to see a "Support" order that you give to a commander or battle group, and when you give it, the unit will follow the targeted commander or group around, staying behind it and giving support (missiles, spells, etc. directed at it or at its target as appropriate). That way you could have a Nature mage serve as a "medic" for a battle group or combat commander, or have your archers actually follow your big line of pikemen and get in range to have a chance to hit people (while still being protected from the enemy by the pikemen)!
edit: oh yeah... and why CAN'T you do what's called in American football a "blitz" or (when successful) a "QB sack"- tell regular troops on the sidelines to Attack Rearmost (or Fire Rearmost) in order to overwhelm the commander, forcing his troops to do their best to fend off the horde from their current positions? Yeah, I'm not a big football fan, but I do like the strategic aspect of the game... kinda like a simplified wargame when you think about it
