So, you may take a hundred soldiers and attack a town, but instead of trying to save their lives, the citizens reach for their tools and run to suicide...

That shall be no more!

Every civilian NPC (yes, including elves) should now run from you when you have -500 alignment with their faction. Also, they should flee from elite units (uruks, tower guards, golden easterlings...) of enemy factions. As a (off-topic?) sidenote, no more hiring civilian units from warlord NPC-s.

The current way of orcs fleeing makes them ridiculous in most cases, so I suggest, bring up the alignment requirement for them to flee from -500 to -1000. Also, orcish banner bearers should count as "stronger allies" & never flee themselves.

Hobbit shiriffs are even more ridiculous than orcs. Going after a dark lord with a slingshot? At -500 alignment, shiriff raids would no longer occur and any existing shiriffs will also flee. Maybe they could be be replaced by ranger attacks that work with the same function, but that would go way too off-topic.
