Do commanders die too easily in detailed combat?

For future efforts, you might consider adding an "aggression" rating. Aggressive commanders give a better bonus, but have increased chances to become casualties. Also maybe instead of just being killed outright, there would be a small chance that the commander is taken "off the board" and comes back as a reinforcement at a later date, perhaps with reduced ratings.

interesting idea... i would also increase the chance that the commander is killed in a defensive action while disordered, but decrease it while in formation, or attacking.

I voted for 'please let them die less often', but only just. I think it only needs the slightest of tweaks to meet my exacting standards (

), so I wouldn't mind too much if it stayed the same.

What about a player selectable variable? If players don't like commanders dropping dead, disable this option. If they do, keep it on (this would be the default option).
