I agree with both sentiments in this thread. Defenders really should stay behind their walls to meet the enemy at the gate. Enemy archers should not be able to get so many arrows inside the walls.

You could try setting commanders to "stay behind troops" and set their squads to "guard commander". That might make them stay put. If that doesn't work, just give all your melee commanders missile weapons and tell them to fire while their squads guard them. That will at least last as long as they have ammo.

Has "guard commander" changed with the new morale system?

In Dom2 all troops on bodyguard duty would result in everyone fleeing as soon as one was killed, just like all commanders.

Yes, I woiuld like to know it as well.

Also does it make sense to send tema of good SC with bodyguards into battle? (with no army) Or killing badyguards would very likely make SC rout?
