AI control of player's units?

[Slaists]

Anyone has had experience with the option that gives the AI control of player's units? Has it been improved relative to RTW?

Indeed, if the battle AI is as improved as has been claimed, this may now actually become a viable option.

Ideally, I would see some option to give the AI "captain" a command along the lines "hold this position, doing your best to keep the formation I arranged" while I manouver the cavalry. Or ask the captain to march a portion of the army somewhere defending more or less intelligently. But I might be dreaming here.
