Default Re: cavalry archers, and other lost units

The improvements to Fire and Flee and the other orders that lead to units exiting the battlefield will be in the first patch. There wasn't time to get them into the gold Version and have them tested out thoroughly without delaying everything, which would not be good.

To summorize those improvements for those who don't know what I'm talking about, units that have been ordered to make a strategic retreat will remain in position with the army if it wins the battle. Those that rout due to morale failure will still be scattered in neighboring provinces, just as before.

I'm not sure what will happen in a raiding situation if everybody has been ordered to retreat and the battle is "lost" because of the that. They may return to their province-of-orgin but I don't know. I'll post an update on that part of things when I have more info.

originally, when you loose a fight, you retreat to the highest numbered province. This could lead to some abuse, and was anyway not that optimal. I would like to have the units retreat into their province of origin, if still controlled, and if not, randomly.
