Originally posted by DrLoboto:You can't control them directly, but you can use the orders of the radial to direct them a little better, to a certain limited extent. Your henchmen will fight with them in the doorway, thereby blocking any opponents behind them, and they will not be surrounded like they would be if you'd tell them to just storm into a room. Tell them to stand still behind the doorway, then lure the opponents to the doorway and give the command to attack as soon as the opponents reach it. You might also want to consider tactics such as using doorways as bottlenecks, if you don't do it yet, so you can keep better control of who your henchmen are attacking. by pressing V-W-E in quick succession in order to give the command for everyone to attack, V-W-X for everyone to stop in their tracks, V-W-F for everyone to attack who you are attacking, or V-E-E for everyone to follow you. Once you've familiarized yourself with the combinations, you can potentially give orders more quickly than by using the radial, e.g. W for combat commands, then another menu for the order, e.g.

If you press V, a menu opens in the lower left corner of the screen, offering further option, e.g. Instead of the radial, you can also use keyboard shortcuts, which I find more convenient myself. For example, you can tell them to attack whoever you are currently fighting with yourself ('Guard Me'), to stop what they are doing ('Hold Your Ground'), and of course to follow you etc. You can't control them directly, but you can use the orders of the radial to direct them a little better, to a certain limited extent.
