can unbreakables retreat?

[rabelais]

Did a forum search couldn't find anything germane...

Can unbreakables constructs etc voluntarily retreat or do they simply ignore the order?

I know they will dissolve if the leader bails first. But if given a retreat order do they act normally?

Also if I mix unbreakables with normal troops, I assume I won't get ubermorale normal squads?

Just to add a question to this, if you don't mind:
If I mix the unbreakables with normal units, and normal units rout, but the army doesn't (it's just their squad that is routing), does that mean that they wil dissolve even if I have appropriate commanders or will they keep on fighting like berserkers do? I was never able to establish what happens here with certainty.

Unbreakable units do not dissolve. Mindless units do. All mindles units are unbreakable, but there are some unbreakable (demons, pretenders, breserkers etc) that are not mindless.

A mindless will dissolve when forced to rout.
- Ordered to retreat
- Leader loss
- Mixed squad rout

* Edit: Also - Attackers rout after 50 turns if not victorious *

Thanks for the reply. I guess it's not a good idea to do it with strong mindless units after all.

Cheers,
