none of the proponents of Panther's "new and improved" morale system (where commanders simply make a morale check when a troop of soldiers routs) has responded to my pointing out that this would be totally broken, because _all_ pretenders and prophets (morale 30) would stay and be slaughtered, even with a mere 10 or less base hit points.
In order for such a system to work, the devs would also have to implement the capability for additional orders, such as "retreat if no troops remain under my command", or "retreat if no friendly troops remain on the battlefield", etc. In short, the changes need to be much more involved than the simplistic ideas that have been proposed thus far. IMO.

A partial "fix" is much worse than leaving things well enough alone. Let's not go and break one thing trying to fix another.
