@LeHerosInconnu. I see that the point here is that the enemy hero shouldn't be allowed to retreat, which is a bit different from what the issue title describes. Perhaps it should be a separate issue?

I think both could be solved at the same time, because it's a question of teaching the AI to take into account the speed of opposing troops in the attack order of its troops, so as to leave the opponent no chance when possible. :) But if you think it should be separate, let me know and I'll open a separate issue.
