[Yrkoon]

If you want to take out commanders, "Fire archers" is probably what you want since, as Shovah pointed out, commanders cannot be targeted specifically.

Commander are usually at the rear not far from the archers and a stray arrow might hit the commanders. If the commander is a mage, then he will die most of the time. If it's a non-mage, the wound might make it rout, and his men with him.

Spells like Curse and Horror Mark usually target big, high-hp creatures first. If your enemy has fragile old human commanders, you're out of luck. If your enemy is bringing Niefel Jarls against you, the spells will probably target either them or the Niefel Giant units.
