I think this would change the mechanics too drastically, and not for the better. I think the combat mechanics are already tuned pretty well, that throwing them out this much would really turn things on their head.I think the balance between routing and damage is good. The variant you propose would tip things much more towards damage again, and what would mean that races/units that have specials that focus more on damage would be better than those that focus on routs.
Of course, everyone should play the way they want, but I think this would put too much chaos into the game, and not really provide any benefit except for reducing the effectiveness of routs.
