Actually, this is incorrect.  They will attack anything that comes
into their viewing range if they are just standing around.  They will
also attack anything that attacks them if they are just standing
around.  The important thing to notice here, is that your troops can't
be doing anything.  If you tell a troop to go somewhere, the will walk
there no matter what, even if they are getting pelted by arrows.  This
is sometimes annoying but it's the only way you can retreat without
attacking whoever is following you.
