I would like for the first chapter of my hack to be a mock battle where none of the units can actually die, they will just retreat. But the game seems to treat them as dead even if I use the ‘new units’ command.
The unit shows up, but it’s not counted as a part of your army. You can still use it, attack and level up, but it doesn’t count to the total in the status screen and auto turn end treats is as not being there.
