short question

[Pontius Pilate]

I see now. Thankyou for all answers. btw, it there any place to read about all these little things?

Yes, I think it is mentioned in the original Rome Total War handbook, you know that small book that usually comes in the video game box. It also answers alot of other basic questions about the vanilla game.

that book says nothing about small things like this :(

[Pontius Pilate]

Are you sure you checked the handbook completely? Well anyway, when the Battle Deployment Scroll comes up check all the little icons very closely by moving your cursor over them. You should find what your looking for, or sometimes not which means that you can safely retreat from battle.

Actually, i dont think it is in the handbook, oddly. I just checked. However, the symbol is easy to see, albeit small. Its red and appears under or just to the right (i cant remember) of the army(s) that will die if it loses or retreats
