Bug : commander abandonning his troops - Page 2

sorry, just updating my previous post to be clearer, yes, always with Marverni. It is not consistent, but it does happen frequently enough that its not too hard to reproduce...maybe 5-10% of the time.

I definitely saw that early on. I thought it had been resolved, but maybe I just haven't played Marverni enough.

This was before the bug Shortlist, so it seems to have slipped through the cracks.

The Marverni battle version is definitely a bug and should be on the list. I'm not sure if the OPs problem is related, a different bug or some user issue that we're not seeing.

Hold on, guys !
Searching in my screwed emails, I eventually found the attached files from llamaserver, the True Gods may bless him forever.

After several tries, I can see at least what's going on. In this case, I was wrong : it is not a bug.

The story :

I am playing EA Yomi.

turn 5 : my army had 3 commanders and the troops where under the command of a Bandit Leader - and not of the Dai Oni I was thinking about in my last posts.

Battle against barbarians : I win the battle. The Bandit Leaders retreats just at the end of the combat BUT most of his troops do not retreat. I did not saw this and did not check carefully (with the 'T' key) the status of the troops in the province before giving my orders. Shame on me

turn 6 : Seing the Bandit Leader alone in the province where he retreated, I thought he was one of my spies moving towards the indies provinces to scout them. And I just moved the 2 commanders who did not flee - but who had no troops under command - leaving behind them the troops of the coward Bandit Leader.
These 2 leaders found in the province where they were moving the few troops that retreated last turn before their commander...

That's the explanation.

Oooof... and sorry again for the erroneous statement about a bug...

Don't worry. Even if your situation was just user error and not a bug, the Marvernin issue IS a genuine bug, so no harm done. So it was a good thing you posted this thread.

Just reproduced this in my current turn if anybody wants it.

As having played Marverni quite a bit, I can confirm Baalz's statement. To my experience it happens after a successful battle without anybody retreating.

When playing with Marverni, I have too had very often that after a battle, not one unit routs, but still most units are unassigned. Not from mage commanders tough - usually only from normal commanders (this is mutu (= I feel like it) and could bee wrong also).

Also the "unassigned after moving to target provinse" happens a lot. I didn't notice the "dropping before moving" because I had long lines of commander moving units and all of them dropping along the way, so can't really distinguish.
