Fighting Commanders and Equipment.

[spirokeat]

I have a real issue with basic commanders and equipment.

There doesn't seem to be any feasible way of using them in combat other than as leadership trucks to deliver troops to a battle or as subsiduary casters by giving them missle weapons/items that cast spells (sceptre of authority etc).

Whenever I go to the craft item screen I see loads and loads of weapons that I just never ever craft. Am I missing something here ?

If I set commanders to attack they always seem to just get jobbed in a heartbeat, I want to be able to craft stuff like hunters knives or basic upgrades on chainmail etc but I almost dont see the point. When you set them to attack they usually outdistance their troops and get offed. Maybe Dom 3 needs a command for the leader to fight amongst the ranks.

Is it just me or do other people have the same thing ?
