About point 1. Implement a new feature that I call "Predictive Retreat"
This should be implemented in the worldbuilder. Just drawing a debug line on the calculated retreat path should be enough for inside the worldbuilder, so mappers can see where units will pass on there map and therefore can determine the flow of the map better.
For the core game idk. It sounds gimmicky. When is the player going to use this feature? Not in the multiplayer, and maybe in the single player but this would be unnecessary if the map is designed properly.
Which we will come to the next point 2. "Give mappers the ability to place a "waypoint retreat" object in the worldbuilder that only the mappers can see and are invisible to players on the map."
If the mapper is able to add and set retreats points himself the issue of having a "wrong" retreat path will not be there in the first place.
Adding retreat paths should be very limited imo and also maybe only set inside the base sector. So instead of retreating to the center of the base sector the unit retreats to the edge of the base sector first and then to the center.
