Actually, I've just added a few more tactics, which can be changed with Ctrl-T during a game, as opposed to being set for the whole game in content. One of them makes your followers ignore all items. Another lets your henchmen only melee, yet another only melee and throw (both are useful, e.g, when setting an ambush around a staircase, otherwise the henchmen crowd over staircases or just wander away). Unfortunately, the tactics change UI is still very cumbersome, contributions welcome.
