Default Re: A newbie asks...

Yeah, I don't normally contradict Edi, but he's wrong here.
I don't know how he's getting those results, but I just watched both standard and mounted indy commanders run from the center to the rearmost troops and then stay behind the last poor crippled one as he headed for the front lines.
Near as I can tell as long as there are troops on the field, unscripted non-casters will stay behind them. Usually they wind up behind archers.

The only thing that doesn't count is bodyguards. Any troops on guard commander seem to be ignored. Probably to prevent everyone from just hiding behind everyone else.


Whether those commanders personally have squads assigned to them doesn't matter. Troops on the field are all that counts. I've even seen commanders head from the front lines back to the rear to stay behind one newly summoned Soulless.
