What happens if you rout the same unit twice in the same combat?
Let's say the enemy has 4 standing units to start. During combat i get 6 total routs. Do 4 become routed and that's it? Or do the last 2 routs destroy 2 routed units?
On a side note, what happens if a unit gets an orb in a combat and the special ability is routing triangles or squares but there aren't any to rout?
Thanks,

Extra routs are ignored; routing a unit that's already routed has no effect. If you get 6 routs on 4 units, the extra two are just wasted.
If the orb ability is to rout triangles or rectangles, but there are no triangles or rectangles to rout, then the ability does nothing. The same is true for the Warlock ability if there are no enemy Triangles or Rectangles, and the Dragon ability if there are no enemy Triangles. If the units that would be effected aren't there, nothing happens.
That's part of the strategy - choosing your force compositions in certain battles to mitigate the opponent's abilities. IE, if you are fighting a Dragon, if you can bring only non-Triangle units in to fight it, you'll be much safer (though you still have to watch out for it's regular damage and attacks).
