In a death match, with $1000.00 on the line

Retreat from battle does not work when attacked at the void gate i tried that of course, the starspawn still fights...

Starspawns rarely get feebleminded, but they get quite often attacked by void creatures. Ritual of returning or a good combat script can help. If multiple creature attack in a combat he is usually wasted.

I make plenty of Starspawns and do not hesitate to waste them for a good summon, sometimes you get a void hero out of the gate, those heroes are unlike all other heroes with really high magic path and unique ablities. I got one who had 20 movement on the global map! He could move on Big Maps in a few turns and make labs everywhere for Gateways.I think he was called Astral or Star Traveller, and he had very high Astral Magic path too. But getting him is extremely rare...
