a serious bug in "tidy up units after battle" option

I think your prince died and you didn't realise.

Usually when a unit's captain dies in a battle the flag on that unit shifts to another unit which is the new captain who is usually in a position in the block of soldiers other than in the center front. I think that you didn't notice your prince died and the new general just happenned to be at the cneter front of your mere 4 remaining knights.

Your prince must have died. :(

I always found turning that option on was annoying.

That is a known issue that happens SOME times. Just turn auto-tidy off. It also lets you merge, saving the best generals, and lets you merge lesser armor/weapon upgraded men into companies with more thereby automatically upgrading them also.

Technically you dont upgrade them because unit stats are based on the individual not the group as a whole. Look at the battle logs valour and armor and attck upgrades are all calculated fro each individaul person

Ok.... all the guys in the newly formed unit 'appear' to have the upgrades of the unit you drop the men into , so what happens with fatigue eg in the desert. Lets say you drop 59 FMAA with full armour upgrade onto a unit of 1 FMAA with no upgrade, as I understand it the unit picture will show no upgrade. So you take this unit off to the desert...... does it tire as if it is a heavily armoured unit or not? If not then this would be a fantastic unit as it gets the individual bonuses from the armour, but not the fatigue penalty. I would guess for the fatigue calculation an 'average' of the units armour is taken if some have different values. Does anyone know??

Im not 100% but i presume fatigue like everything else is calculated per individual so i think the unti will still get tired pretty quickly. However unless someone else knows better...
