I was browsing through the newgroup on strategic games on which there has been much discussion of Dominions and found an interesting discussion about retreating/routing etc. which I think highlights the need for a distinction between the two.
Here's the link:

The point raised that grabbed my attention was the guy who tried to storm a castle, while leaving 3 sages on 'siege castle', failed to capture the castle, and had all his troops that routed killed automatically for fleeing into 'hostile' territory - even though he still owned the territory!
of course that doesn't have so much to do with the proposed distinction between routing and retreating, but something's definitely wrong there.
*edit - sorry this is the wrong thread - the one that I meant to post in was "Cavalry archers, and other lost units"
