A unit that has finished marching can reset their goal during the next Strategy phase. If you zoom out on the map, you'll see that units in proximity to each other are shown as a single army (picture on the right). Goals can be assigned to all of these units at once.
A unit that has lost all of its troops or whose morale drops to 0 is destroyed. The unit's officer usually returns to their affiliated city. However, the officer might be wounded or even become a prisoner of the enemy in this situation.

(The distance will change depending on their relations.)

Linked units will activate their tactics simultaneously (up to 5 units at once.) This tactic will have stronger effects than a normal tactic.

Status Ailments

Units can have a status ailment due to tactics or having their supply line cut. Once afflicted with a status ailment, their actions become restricted based on the effect.
