Limited retreat

[Swampthing]

For some reason, I cannot retreat from a fight more than 3 times in a row, even when fighting different enemies.

This makes avoiding dying in the early stages very difficult and discouraging.

1. Kill or knock unconscious at least one of the enemy, then run until you can do the <tab> retreat. This should allow you to retreat from an enemy.

2. Order your troops to hold position, then charge the enemy and get yourself knocked out. The next screen should have the leave battle option.

3. Carry at least one hireling, order your soldiers to engage, then on the next screen you usually have a retreat/leave battle option.

2 and 3 only work if you have at least 1 other person with you. 1 should always work, but you have to have a fast enough horse to get away from the enemy.
