Default Bug : commander abandonning his troops

The MP game is "Strolling 2", on llamaserver.

Looks like there is a bug here. I have a whole bunch of units without their commander. This commander moves and
1- left behind him more than the half of his units as garrison in the starting province
2- left the remnants on his units as garrison in the final province.

Of course, I did not garrisonned units last turn and of course, I don't know how a commander can in the same turn both move into a province and garrison it...

Never saw something like that before.

Use your old .trn file with your sent .2h file and check that you really sent your commander with all the units to the other province.

Was there any events/battles?

I had spotted this, too.

Never both points at once and I am not sure, I really ever saw the first one:
I had it, that my commander moves somewhere and suddenly does not have his troops with him, but when this happened, I could never exactly tell, that he had this troops with him when I send him, it could also have been a combination of the second version with me not realising it fast enough.

@calmon : I don't save my old .trn files but I am sure that the commander has been sent with all his units. The game is in its 7th turn, there are few armies to move. My moves have been pretty simple : one little army (2 commanders) + one army (1 commander) coming to reinforce with last turn's recruits.

Moreover, even if I had garrisonned some units by mistake in the original province, this cannot explain why the few left units for this commander have been "automatically" garrisonned in the final province.

One event only (gems). No battles.

This sounds like a transient bug that affected early versions of Dom3. I only saw it once myself, but then it happened quite consistently to my friend who I was playing hotseat with. His Marverni commanders kept randomly dropping units after a move, so he had to check every turn to make sure they were still there. This was with 3.04. Never seen it since.

What version are you using, what nation are you in the game and what other specific can you tell me about it (commander type etc etc)?

Could be possible the commander was wearing a leadership boosting item which was moved to a lab or another commander.

I've run into this frequently while playing Marverni. Well, actually it may be a little different. I have a successful fight with few losses (no commanders lost, no routing) but all the troops for a commander are now unassigned. If I'm not paying very close attention said commander goes forward to attack the next province all by himself.

Happens with fair regularity with Marverni, but haven't seen it with any other nations.

This bug is independent of items, they are not a factor.

Whoops, didn't see your post when I made mine Edi. I've definitely seen it several times this version in the Figment game I'm playing. I saw it regularly when playing several games against the AI in test games while preparing for that one, but never with any other nation so it would seem to be tied to something in Marverni.

Has it always been with Marverni, Baalz?
