Caelum questions

Casting spells, in general, is a good way to get your mages killed. Why keep them on the field for turn after turn when you can just retreat, and guarantee their survival?

I would like to do that, but gathering everyone back together after a retreat is cumbersome, even with flying caelum (coordinated placing on the battlefield, assigning bodyguards and 'bodyuguarding' archers, etc)
I really hope that there will be a difference between an orderly retreat and routing in Dom!!!

Furthermore, why is retreat limited to 5 rounds? The same is true for hold & attack, fire & flee, etc. It would be already enough to have a single global slider for each command for the whole nation, setting a value between 1 and 12 for each of those commands. Or maybe just allow this specific battlefield personalisation during pretender creation would be nice...

Am I off-topic yet? Sorry!
