I'll run them down everytime, especailly if I have calverly.
If I do not run them down & massacre them, they will only reform (retrain, or just regroup with another army) & march on me again, forcing my men to fight the same cowards another day.
So I show no mercy for the A.I. in the past has shown me none, as mentioned above, running down my men & slaughtering them.
I strike the larger units first, the more men dead, the better, then I just move down from there.
