I dont understand your reasoning. If you dont want, dont disable killstack.
The default option is to keep killstack activated.
On the other hand, the patch I sent doesnt change the order in which units will
defend, so, first will defend the strongest defender units, and last the
weakest ones, as always, so you are safe from lossing the strongest attackers
in first instance.

 Thank you for the nice day. Today we had a really sunny one.:-)
