Units with behavior altered only by Retreat:

  • Will never move too much forward, but will follow along any offensive

• Artillery

  • Will always fire at a group within range, and fallback when damaged except when retreating.

• If player has more units available than enemy:
  • Defensive 60% chance
  • Ambush 20% chance
  • Aggressive 20% chance
