[1.0.5FROG AI] Units are retreating in tactical battle even when there's nothing left to do but fight

from Elemental Forums

These units do not have healing or spells nor do they have ranged attacks yet they are moving backwards away from me.  Is that a morale thing (in other words, working as designed) or is that a bug (should they stay and fight especially since there's nothing left to do but fight)?

I have seen a retreat when injured, and pioneers also retreat, but others that are healthy/un-injured with weapons should be attacking

If they are injured, they are probably trying to keep units alive, using other units to fight. Basically, it's trying to mimic the player's ability to save hurt units. The problem, of course, is that a player can easily abuse such behaviors for even more cheese.
