AI retreat option
Does the AI ever decline battle and retreat when attacked, as they did in MTW?
The nearest to this I've seen has been in the end of turn movement when I've twice taken up the option to intercept and hit the attack button, only to see a brief flash of the battlefield, the loading screen again, the victory result panel but zero casualties on both sides and the raiding parties safely back in their territory, intact.

fruits of my loins are here for all to see. I have two sons, Henry and.... another one.
Step forward, Harry, Prince of Wales."

The AI is commanded by real men. Real men don't retreat and don't surrender.

Speaking of retreating, the AI seems smartest when retreating MY men - they *always* go exactly where I do not want them to go. There is potential there...

Never had the AI retreat in ETW yet, even when it was a full stack against 1/2 units.

Yesterday, I thought the moment of glory was here (on my screen): an inferior AI force turned and marched towards the edge of the map. Wow... a RETREAT!!!... Well, not really, the AI just marched AWAY from its set up (dug in) hill-top defenses to an open area and camped there awaiting me. Here's an inventory of what they left behind (for my destruction pleasure):
2 (mobile!) artillery units in a dug in a position
a line of stakes connecting the two artillery units
An isolated unit of line fortified in a house
