Re: And another thing...
This is known for quite some time: "Fire/Attack Commanders" was removed from the code early in the development process of Dom2 - yes, a big part of it's code comes from Dom1.
But this option was only removed for the player - the AI still can use this order. This is to make it a little bit more dangerous in battle: While the player can adjust the placement of his troops to (known) enemy threats, the AI cannot. So it at least gets a direct shot at enemy commanders, something a player may achieve (indirectly) with a clever combination of placement and orders.
