.Seeing your leader, and friends get slaughtered, and then have the killers look at you afterwards is a very traumatic experience. You know you cannot outrun them. What do you do?
You choose to surrender of course!
That's at least what I would do, and probably some of the bandits of Kenshi would do this too.
So when you have killed 5 bandits, and there is only 1 or 2 left, I suggest they have some sort of "Morale check" much like in Warhammer or other games. The higher points a soldier have in morale, the less chance is there of him fleeing the scene screaming like a little girl. If the enemy does surrender you can choose to show mercy and let him run
, take him as prisoner and make him your slave 
or simply flat out kill him 
Your own squad could perhaps also have morale? I'm not sure this would be a good idea, since it isn't a great idea to lose control over your own fighters. But I personally would like to slaughter 5 bandits, take down the leader and the last bandit? Well I think I would make an "Executioner" for these purposes, a guy with a big axe specifically designed to give the death penalty to my cowardly enemies.
Well that's just my idea, if anyone already made a thread about this, then please just link me to it.
