This is a very edgy suggestion, I realize that. I know it falls in close to "Better AI," and is very similar to this suggestion I made a while back, but this is a fair amount more reasonable then that. and to me it dosen't seem like it would be that hard to add. Here it is.

Firstly, the Halt/Ready horns of command should be spilt into two individual horns.

Then, a fourth "retreat," or "scatter," horn would be added. When blown, all hired units under that squadron would flee from enemy units and players, similarly to hobbits, until a halt, or a ready horn is blown.

Not only is this very accurate to real life, (and Tolkien's works,) but would be highly useful. When it is clear that a battle is lost, a player could give the command to scatter, in the hope of saving as many units as possible.

It may also be prudent, (if possible) to have a "Distance from player" limit for obvious reasons.

Well, thats about it, if you have any improvements or ideas, please tell me in the comments, and I may add them and give you credit. If you like this idea, please "Kudo" and comment. If you don't, well I figured about as much. I count every day that this lasts without being shot down by an admin a victory.
