Scripting Issue - Specifically Retreat Command

Ahh. But if you script a commander to retreat, you gotta pay the price sometimes. Personally, I never script anything but scouts to retreat. I think I'm out-thinking myself if I do that with an SC.

Pay the price? The commander suicided for no reason. Commanders ignore their scripts all the time. I don't see why a commander can't ignore a script that automatically results in their own death. Had that AQ not retreated, and just sat still for the next 20 rounds, the disease demon would have died from the shimmering fields spell.

The only reasons scripting exists is because you can't realistically play out these battles tactically in real time. It's a compromise between giving you control over battles and allowing a game to progress at a reasonable pace.
