[Discussion] Problem with ranged tactics not applying in game

I've got an issue with archer characters (also mages) not maintaining distance from mobs unless I constantly babysit. I set their tactics to archer and ranged, but they just stand there and continue shooting or casting spells when attacked by melee mobs. I don't see an option to keep moving away in the custom options, but switching to a melee weapon isn't ideal for an archer/rogue type, since they rarely can survive long. Mages have the same issue. Just stand there and get killed. I'm sure I am missing something.
