Given there ability to cut off retreat with flyers, they will do a lot more damage with rout than they will suffer from it.

I am not saying they are over-powered as I rarely think of PD as being anything more than spy catchers anyway...but rout is often more of their advantage than their disadvantage.

Which many Caelum players have complained about, because the flyers land in the path of the routing units, which causes them to attack the flyers, which in Caelum's case often causes high casualties, sometimes high enough to cause Caelum to rout before the non-flying defenders escape the field of battle, allowing the 'losers' to win and continue to own the province.
