Problems with summoned

I can't get my summoned monsters or created undead to attack my enemies. The first problem is that I have to move first, so I'm attacked first and I can't use the summoned units as meat shields. The second problem is that sometimes, even after I'm attacked, the summoned units will do nothing (they're vero close to the battle). They just stand there!!

I think these are extreme bugs that make the game unplayable. I can't load 10 times till the undead golem remembers to attack

Any solutions, please? Arcanum is a great game in many other ways but I can't play it like that.

I think the F1, F2, 3, 4, 5, etc keys are assigned to team commands. As a rule hirelings and summons are extremely stupid but you can somewhat control that stupid.

Next time in game try pressing those keys, they alternate between move towards your mouse cursor, stop fighting, attack the enemy under your cursor and a few other things.

All you have to do is move your mouse over a target and press the right F key to make them attack. (I think it was F6) Unfortunately they'll charge into battles and possibly run over all manner of traps.
