Re: Orders problems
The tactical AI is probably the weakest link in Dominions. It would seem relatively simple to add many capabilities to the AI, and to allow more powerful scripting of units.
In the case of units with melee skills, the AI should check if there are enemies within charging range.
The ability to maneuver, be it by scripting or the AI, is basicly non-existent in the game as it is now. In a game that is centered around tactical battles, this is,.. well, not so good.
But to answer you question, no, there is not to my knowledge any way to make the Tien Chi horse archers use bows and lance/spear in a sensible way. When I saw this new and interesting race, I asked myself the same question, and then decided that it would be virtually impossible to use these mounted troops as they should be.
