Battle: add a window with a retreat question

• I've checked that there aren't other open issues on the same topic.

Describe the problem requiring a solution

As far as I remember, in original heroes 2, if it autobattle enabled, if you are going to lose, appears a window with a question: will you retreat or die?

In fheroes2 I just lose the battle and lose the hero:

Describe the possible solution

Add this window

Additional info

version 1.09

The window exists in the game. The AI needs changes in logic which are going to be addressed in #7344 .

I'm closing this issue as duplicate.

Hi @ihhub fheroes2 in auto battle mode never asks the player to retreat, and the original game doesn't do that either (I've never seen this). This is a video from the original game:

DOSBox.0.74-2.1.Cpu.speed_.max.100.cycles.Frameskip.0.Program_.HEROES2.2023-11-05.11-50-53.mp4

Perhaps the author of the issue confused with HoMM3 HotA, where there really is something like this:

Heroes.of.Might.and.Magic.III_.Horn.of.the.Abyss.2023-11-05.11-57-33.mp4

Hi @oleg-derevenetz , do we intend to implement this? I think such "improvement" makes the game more casual, where players just play the game with the AI doing everything.

Hi @ihhub I think definitely not in the near future. Maybe someday later, when there will be clear justifications for the necessity of this feature. The losing player in most cases will not retreat, but load the last save and try to replay the battle manually hoping for better result or surrender for money.
