Alliance are a serie of different mods. On the Star Wars GC, you can play the civil war Empire vs Rebel era + Black Sun and soon the Republic and CIS.
This is the new feature from the mod. I have made a new code and I have added it to one new unit named communications ship. It has two abilities, one is the old ability for give attack orders to all the units and the other is a new and awesome feature for retreat some units from the battle.
In the video you can watch how the units for be retreated from the battle, they must be close to the communications ship and if it will not run if there is a interdictor activated.
You can not retreat units too damaged or without engines hardpoints. Other curious point is how you can retreat a unit spawned by a heroe and you will receive it at your reinforce panel, after it when you return to the galactic map, you will see it between your units.
After you retreat the units, you will see again in your reinforce panel and you will be able spawn them again at other position or you can spawn other units. Have Fun.
About where have I found this? I made it by myself with a new lua code but I saw some like this at a first place made by TAU for the SOTE mod. Just it was different because he added it as a ability for retreat the same unit with the ability and I have made it for retreat a group of units into a range around the ability is activated. But all the pieces of code were in the original game, very hidden but never for this purpose.
This will actually be pretty useful.
I know some Sub-Hero units are able to spawn in their own reinforcement fleets and all, but when it comes to spawning in and retreating units you can't build in actual Galactic Conquest, I think it sorts it out.
Lovely edition. :)
Video not found, but my only concern with this is (if i understand correctly) is units spawned that become available in GC after they retreat. Essentially one could attack and retreat to build up a free fleet?

About your question, better watch the video, the new ability is as it was named, it lets you retreat your units. If by the same reason other alternative options can be made, well, better for us.;)
