Retreating in this game punishes the player.

[NOBLE SIX]

It's more efficient to let units die and retrain another that comes in with full health, rather than having a unit stroll back to base and spend FOREVER getting their health back. If units had veterancy if might be another story but that feature doesn't exist.

For tier 1, yea mostly.
For later tiers, nah.

What he means is cost does not justify the retreat, and you are better off just making a new unit. Probably true for tier 1 Orcs and Nighthaunt.

BRUH.

Read. What. I. Said.

The game does nothing to promote or reward saving units.

Just throw stuff into the grinder and have done with it.

wiping enemy units makes them outright buy new ones which is double the cost of reinforcing. wipe a few units and u can buy a node upgrade while they are still making units

Cost, Schmost.

Doesn't matter against the time wasted.

1. you are being retarded.. cost shmost.. yea lets completely ignore cost because it has no role to play?
2. every game in this genre has the retreat function.
3. only faction to really suffer when full retreating is the stormcasts as they are slow to get back to the field.
4.every faction has fast units good for scouting or capping to mitigate full retreats.

you know right that you can't retreat units mid combat to specific healing node?

[Soldner42]

Should have been made like in Dawn of War 1 and 2.
Just click of a Button to retreat to the closes Position and then there Pay Points to get new Individuals for the Squad.

If true, this is an immediate problem that should be addressed.

What's doubly annoying is that you CAN do that in single player.

Why dont you guys play a bit more multiplayer before you 'know everything'? The more i play, the more i see there is quite a bit more complexity.

Played ~6 hours in multi and the game keeps on surprising me with tough decision making and tactical depth. I think people are too quick to bash it without bothering to understand it first.
