I don't like how retreating means instant death during an assassination attempt... it just doesn't make sense. I'm sure there's been plenty of times in history when assassination plots did not succeed because the target ran away.

Suggested Improvement:
What would be a nice change is if your commander/mage ends up retreating during the assassination battle then it would have to run past the assassin and escape the battlefield. If successfully getting past the assassin then the commander/mage retreats into a neighboring friendly province.
My suggestion is not perfect, yet it's definitely an improvement. Perhaps we'll see a change in DOM_4.
