Disposing of the leftovers

[CMcMahon]

In MTW, you could lose troops to routers - the would turn and fight pursuers occasionally...

I've seen this on occasion in RTW, but I think that it has more to do with a unit deciding to fight again, hitting a guy, seeing the guy next to them get ran over by my cavalry, and then running like hell again.

Is there a way to change your mind after you start pursuing the leftovers? Or are you stuck waiting for them to be run down or chased off the map?

[CMcMahon]

I'm pretty positive that if you hit ESC and exit the battle, you're guaranteed to win if all the enemy units are routing.

I miss the capturing of enemy soliders like in MTW, & them occassionally defecting & fighting back again after you've taken them! Which did happen to me a lot; if I started to win a battle, capture a lot of enemies, & then start to lose, a lot of the capturee's would defect back to their army & fight back...

This was on key feature that SHOULD be put back in with the next patch if there is ever another one.

Also selling the capturee's after the battle for ransom, & the A.I. will sometimes not accept it, forcing you to kill them, which I love!

Also, being able to kill them during the battle I loved, which I did all the time when things got rough, & I started losing, no way the enemy was going to get their men back to fight against me, so off with their heads, etc.

I personally "always" killed them during battle, just was my thing to do, & ROME SHOULD HAVE IT.
