Guarding thugs

While expanding with EA Agartha I'd send 1 oracle plus 15-20 Ancient Ones set on guard. Everyone was positioned way in the back, and the mage scripted divine bless, summon earthpower, 3x bladewind.

The Ancient Ones held their ground while the bad guys walked through the teeth of the blade winds. Whatever got through was handled by guards.

Guard commander is a great order to keep your troops out of fights. Often you have few elite troops/SC who can handle the enemy, but to siege enemy you need much larger army (which you certainly don't want to lose). So most of troops can be set to guard some commanders who stay in the back. I think they will also cheer for your real troops while on guard
