I have spent countless hours experimenting with huge spawned eleutheroi armies in EB. They are ridiculously passive regardless of battle odds or difficulty level; I usually used VH. Even when spawned near lightly garrisoned settlements with no defenses, they would attack it only 5-10% of the time - this is in literally hundreds of trials.
