Just an idea of mine - the Dom3 Q&A thread

q1 - Your dominion already gives you some information. The scout is there to extend beyond your dominion's reach and see what's going on in other dominions.

q2 - Well, double-clicking on a unit type highlights all units of that type. That can help.

q3 - Undead nations get spells that bolster resistance to banishment effects. There are other nasty tricks out there as well that help undead overcome banishment. There're also some spells that Death magic gets that can target enemy commanders. That makes those priests think twice about showing up to a fight. Finally, undead multiply much faster than living units. You can only banish so many before they overrun you.

q3.5 - BTW, the other huge benefit undead get is that they don't have to eat. Death nations usually have jacked up Death dominions, meaning they'll destroy your ability to eat within their reach. Your men'll be starving and diseased, easy pickings for Ermor and the like by the time the leftovers reach their capital.

There are of course counters. But that's half the fun. Let's just say that as a lover of all things evil and undead, I don't worry at all about their viability in this game.

I just had the case of a battle *won*, *no* rout nor commanders killed, yet a group was disbanded.
Kind'o strange/buggy...

[thejeff]

Yeah, I've had it happen again.
Since I was looking for it now, certainly no rout or lost commanders. The group in question ended the fight chasing the defeated enemy off the field.

Look like a bug to me.

[Daynarr]

It's odd. I didn't have that happen to me. Can you attach a save game with it?

[thejeff]

Sure.
It happens in The Bottleneck (40).

[Daynarr]

It looks odd indeed. Just checked that savegame and I see no reason why that group would be disbanded. I never had that happen to me.
Maybe you could post this in the bug thread and attach that same savegame with it?

I noticed the same thing while playing the demo. Kinda annoying.
