A simple fix would be to give such creature generating leaders 50 morale when they enter a battle alone. This is effectively what happens for leaders that don't generate troops.

I always gave Cthuzul the demonbred assassin a lifelong protection and he never appeared to be remotely fazed by having all his imps wiped out. Perhaps assassination attempts are different ?

That, or a "with your shield or on it" checkbox that has been proposed, that disables the auto-flee on loss of all troops for marked leaders. This would solve a lot of other things as well.

Most likely. I recall one of the turn-tip was "You cannot retreat from assasination attempts" or something to that effect. This seemed to mean that you, on the receiving end of such attempts, cannot retreat. However, it seems reasonable that the same holds true for the assassin too.

I supposes it is some sort of No-Retreat oerride switch, used in perhaps Death Match too.

Changing game mechanics and user interface is never simple.

There already is an exception in the code for when an army of commanders only attacks however, which could possibly be used to modify the retreat rules to take into account automatic commander bodyguards.

True. For example by giving leaders 50 morale in such circumstances...
