Please do not allow units to "rout"

from Elemental Forums

I have no problem with being able to retreat units and so forth, and in a simulation like Total War I think that it is just fine - but I think that for units to rout ala Total Wars would really suck for this type of game.

Now I have no problem with a Fear spell or something that makes units run away as long as the spell is in effect - I expect that. But having battalions just wimp out because they are getting creamed, I think that would not fit in E:WOM.

That's it. If anyone feels differently about it please don't post. ^_^

Why not? We're dealing with humans right?  Humans run from the fight, they don't just die in place.  Since this will be humans and "fallen" humans, it only makes sense that an army routs rather than fights to the death every time.
