autokilled after routing an ashen angel. bug?

Yes, I know fleeing an assassination means death. That's not the question.
Do they die (disappear with or without a little puff of blood) as soon as they fail the morale check and start to rout, as suggested earlier in the thread? Or do they rout, try to run off the screen and die because there's nowhere to go, which is what I'd always thought?

Though, going back to the Tomb Oracle, silly question: He didn't have flying did he?

After reading the thread (and not being able to parse the combat log really), I have a point or two:

1) The only time I know that units simply die on the battlefield in a route condition is if they are mindless.
a) As far as I know, this does not apply to commanders.
b) I don't think the Tomb Oracle is mindless.

If this was a Marble Oracle, it could potentially occur. Either this was a bug we simply don't see very often, or, assuming (a) and (b) above are correct, the Oracle was somehow demoted to Unit Status and made Mindless. If this was the case... did the Ashen Angel reflect the Charm effect of the Oracle?

Just some musings, but as no one had mentioned the dissolution of mindless unit effect seemingly occuring, I thought I'd mention it.

It's as you thought. They leave the battlefield and then die. This is something else.

I'm really beginning to believe the Tomb Oracle is Mindless. According to the 'Lies My Rulebook Told Me' thread, Mindless commanders, if forced to retreat, will dissolve. This sounds like the Oracle dissolved. Can someone check if the Tomb Oracle is Mindless? I can't check from here.

Morale 18, so no, Tomb Oracles aren't mindless.
