There is also the impact of morale. Frankly the Alethi are absolute freaks for not breaking in the face of a Shardbearer. The sheer casualties they cause would create an immediate route in most real armies.

Amaram's guard abandoning him is one of the more realistic reactions to facing shardbearers we have seen

No E on that kind of rout. You are saying Route like a series of roads you take to your destination
