Withdraw problem ... please help?

[AstroCat]

Ok, I was losing a battle but had around 400 - 500 men left plus my general and faction leader. I used the Withdraw command and we easily escaped.

So, afterwards it said my faction leader died and all 400 - 500 men disappeared. What happened??

That was terrible!

Thanks for the help.

Was it a siege? You can't withdraw from sieges .... yet (hoping for a fix in 1.2).

Also there might be a bug/feature where when you are attacked and have no movement points left they might just be disbanded after the battle..... the whole Withdraw thing is strange right now...

Its presumed to be a bug, or theres somthing we don't kow yet.

They attacked me at a bridge. The move before they attacked I didn't have any movement points left. So, is it because of that I could not retreat so my men were wiped out?
I wish I would have known that to begin with, or I wouldn't have put myself in such a precarious situation.

Thanks for the help.

Yes. If oyu don't have any movement points left, you can't retreat. I know, it sucks.

I've heard others say that ridiculous things, such as this, have occured. I can't believe they let this one slip by.
Withdrawing is withdrawing. You shouldn't lose armies if you withdraw unless the enemy is right on you the whole way.

it's annoying, granted. lost some good generals doing that. but it should get those realism-guy all fidgety, as running away with an obviously tired army isn't such a great idea.
