Okay, so now I have tried Settlers IV. It's a good game but it seems to have one major flow that somehow ruins a lot of the game play for me.

Why is not possible to retreat soldiers if they get attacked?

An example:

I have a little group of bowmen near the border. My opponent has a group of swordsmen on the other side so my bowmen starts shooting at them. That's really good because they can't hurt me from a distance.
Slowly the swordsmen get closer and now it's time to make a retreat before my bowmen get slaughtered. But I can't......

Seems like when they begin shooting at a target I loose control with them. It's the same with my swordsmen. Some of them just when berserk and attacked the enemy though they were outnumbered, and I had no chance at all of calling them back.

This is riddicolous IMO and one of the only negative changes since III.

Panic not,to get your men to retreat highlight them and press alt,you can then move them in groups where you want them to be.
