How do you behave after the enemy routs?

There's routing during battle, and there's routing post-battle. During battle, yes the AI chases routers, as do I - that's fair game. Post-battle routing is when every unit on the opponent's side is routing, so the battle is automatically won and the option appears to end the battle immediately. The AI can't do this, the battle just ends for them, and if you're lucky your men escape to fight another day. You on the other hand can wipe them all out. Which is a tad unfair, but each to their own.

Rarely have my men escaped to fight another day;

but;

I shall endeavor to do the noble thing, and resist the temptation to finish off routing armies.

Hopefully, I will see them "drop dead" when I return to the Campaign map.

Thank you for the challenge to be "civilized".
