[Tweak request] Retreat pathing

[Neutral]

I have witness many men died needlessly running back to their wives that I had to start this serious discussion.

May I offer a suggestion to better the retreat pathing? Might the magic coders of Odin be able to set an initial waypoint for the player to determine the direction of the disengemeent (possibly with an aoe range) that then joins up with the auto waypointing done by the logic?

To prevent abuse of forward movements with this new tweak, (1) range restrict the first manual retreat waypoint and (2) perhaps only countdown the loss of control TIMER when the squad distancing translates towards base.

My request might be out of reach for now but I'll just toss it out there if there is the resources to look into this. Might further seal the flavour of Ancestors Legacy uniquely its own with this mechanic overhaul.

Company of Heroes 2 had the same issue, units retreating from one horde of enemies towards another. It would be great to have the option to retreat to one of your capped villages

@☭Kirov Airship☭ this! Setting retreat points manually, another posssible tweak. More doable

Just simply take the position of the unit they are facing towards as a value in consideration for the retreat path, so you can still outplay his retreat path by smart positioning, but at least they won't charge retreat inside the unit they are trying to escape from anymore.

They already said that they are working on that if i remember correctly.

Marked critical for consideration
