Recruit

Whenever you are in a battle and are in the extreme side of the map, even if you are overwhelmed by enemies, you can click retreat, and then "continue fighting" (instead of retreat) or whatever the name is, to be set up in the beggining of the battle, allowing you to escape a certain death. I really think that, should you click Retreat - > Continue fighting, you should stay in the same place as you were, not restart the whole battle.
