Auto-retreat has become such a widely used feature now that it could make sense to include more specificity in the core always-present UI to be fiddled with faster.

When a unit is selected, there could be 2 buttons with an auto retreat emblem, one has a pic of multiple units in the corner, one does not.

Is the traditional "all units of this/these types" auto retreat toggle. Clicking it while holding shift and selecting an area (ideally square if possible) turns auto-retreat on for that/those unit types while in that particular area only. Holding space while clicking does this, but also opens a one-click menu to adjust hp%. The effect should happen upon click based on prior values, and then it is adjusted to the new value when one clicks the desired value.

Personally I feel a slider is more awkward than clicking preset options or clicking a spot on a line, but I get if others prefer a slider. If slider, I suggest mouse is auto-stuck to the slider and you move and click, for speed reasons.

Sets the selected specific units to auto-retreat (not the unit types, just the specific units). Clicking it while holding shift and selecting an area (ideally square if possible) makes all units in the area regardless of type auto-retreat.

The primary reason for the area of retreat function is to manage multifront unit behavior. The primary reason for a selected units rather than unit type option is to be able to micro parts of an army in a front while leaving the rest to auto retreat. An example is, if you want parts of an army to hard commit to a run by, but keep the rest of the unit type there or the front in general on auto-retreat.
