It may be obvious, but they'll stay behind archers if you have any on the field.
X-bows are even better for this, since they'll stay put twice as long.

Yeah I just wanted to figure out ways where I didn't have to do that for MP, since then units can be attacked with "fire archer". :/ Oh wells.

Does a commander spamming a skelly trinket count as an archer? And if that guy + guards stay in the back, would the entire formation move? Hrm, lemme test that out...

Hmm. with mictlan I usually form expansion groups of 7 jag warriors. the priest is given orders to bless bless bless hold hold - stay behind troops - and of course they usually run up behind the jag warriors.

*usually* jag warriors will kill things fast enough that its not a problem. Every so often the priest runs to the front and gets killed.

I may have to try adding one slinger with orders to fire.. just so the priest can stay behind him...
