I've noticed something happening to me on a fairly regular basis.
A player will attack my town. One of his units moves, usually a mounted unit (early stages of the game folks). Once it reaches the end of its movement, the player must hit Retreat because the fight immediately stops with no damage done to either side. This happens with players who are more advanced Technologically than I am and thus have superior units as well as with players who are roughly equal to me or even inferior to me Technologically, with equal or inferior military units.
While I can certainly see why an equal or inferior strength player might Retreat rather than fight it out (risk of losing, wanting to see my relative strength, wanting to see what units I use in defense, probably several others), I can't see why someone superior to me would Retreat. Do you receive PvP points just for "picking" fights or do you actually have to fight to win them?
