Battle Afflicted Troops?

4) If your army consists of only Bodyguards, the first casualty in your ranks will result in a general rout.

A Caelum Seraph taskforce was destroyed by PD because all their troops were on Bodyguard; how nice to kill troops worth 800 gold coins with capital PD.

Incidentally, not all units count for the battle rout: for example, a Virtue spamming Ghost Wolves will not rout when her Ghost Wolves are killed. I believe only units brought in at the beginning of the battle matter for rout purposes, but don't quote me on that.

I somehow recall that there is a command that highlights all wounded troops when you're in the army setup screen. Is this true, or am I making it up?

[Agrajag]

You are, its the 'w' shortcut key. (and therefore not a command )

[Arralen]

Mark one unit in a squad, hit
"w" for wounded,
"e" for experienced (**) troops

[Oversway]

The only annoyance is that you have to mark a unit, and so after pressing w (or e), that unit will be selected along with all the other wounded (or experienced) units.

Except that 'e' hasn't worked for several patches now, which is very inconvenient.

Thanks all this is great information. Learing the Rout system is pretty crucial and I wasn't clear on allot of this.

Thanks again.

Do summoned units prevent you from routing if your original troops rout?

It works for me. Are you sure you just had no units with TWO or more stars?

It works for me... any unit with **+.
