[BUG] Not all units can retreat?

from Elemental Forums

After realizing I had bitten off more than I could chew in a recent battle, I decided to pull back my army.  I extracted my sovereign and heroes without trouble, but when I tried to retreat the "normal" units, the mouse cursor changed to the "can't move here" icon when I moved it over the retreat square.  If that's intentional, there should be some UI explaining why (can only heroes retreat?)

Yes, only heroes and your sovereign can flee battles, so use the option wisely.

I think this is a bad design decision.  Everyone should be able to retreat, but there should be consequences to it, and this consequences should be even worse if the enemy has ranged weapons/spells or faster units.
