It looks like "damage unit" returns the actual amount of damage it's received, so if you want to know whether a unit is ''actually'' alive or not, you can use if (damage unit < 1.0).

I think "alive unit" returns true if the group's leader thinks the unit is alive. It can take a while for them to notice, especially if you kill off a whole group at once. Similarly, the list of units in a group isn't updated until the leader acknowledges the unit is dead.
