i am not keen with sea strategy, but i thought about inventing  
'reatreatchance' option as oposit to current 'occupychance'
i hate sending my units to die without chance of surviving. i would like em to 
retreat if they have mp and free hex where to retreet.
this could be modified by order flag and/or if they are in cities (u dont want 
guards to retreet from cities :)  and so.
when retreeting and having to avaiable hex to retreet to, unit would choose one 
with friendly unit or city if there is one.

just an idea.
