A question about retreating units

[Lysimachos]

Working with the editor I noticed that every unit has a "Default retreat direction" pointed on 0.
Does anyone know in wich manner this really affects the behaviour of retreating units and moreover what would happen while inserting a different number?

This is a partial quote from from KiethMartin:


"Side 1 should be set up at the bottom of the screen and will move first and retreat in that direction.

Side 2 should be set up at the top. So it seems you set up the other way around.

There are flags to reset this in the scenario XML files but that is getting all techie!

The simple solution for now is to check the Side ID in the unit data. Any easy way to spot errors is to load the game with free deployment and on clicking a unit its deployment zone will be on the other side of the battlefield. "
