Leave Combat Options

Once a battle has started there are 4 ways to leave:
 * Complete the main objective: This will end the battle as a victory and grant experience and spoils to the victor.
 * Rout: This will end the battle as a defeat, with the warband potentially suffering injuries and a loss of equipment.
 * Voluntary Rout: This option becomes available when your warband's Morale drops below the rout threshold. At this stage the warband can retreat, suffering a defeat but with no additional penalties. This may be useful if you have already suffered great losses during the battle and wish to preserve your remaining few warriors from impeding death!
 * Abandon Mission: This option is always available. However, leaving the battlefield is considered an act of cowardice and is frowned upon! Using Abandon Mission will let you immediately retreat from battle, but all of your warriors will be considered Out of Action and suffer the associated consequences. Think twice before choosing this option! Disconnecting during a Multiplayer mission will be considered an Abandon Mission.

You can save your progress in a battle from the Options menu, in order to return to it at a later date. You will not incur any penalties for saving and resuming a battle.
