Something strange here (No message pop up)

[Mr Durian]

I don't know whether its my game's problem or the Vanilla Balance Mod but you know when you almost destroy an enemy army; such as reducing it to a few men. This message pops up saying the army no longer poses a threat since all the men have deserted rather than face another fight.

I no longer get that message which is awkward. Was this interface introduced in v1.5 or was there all the time since v1.0? Is this due to VBM?

I never get that as a pop up. I always get it as a small icon dropping down the left side of the screen. If I click on it, then I get the pop up, in the same fashion as I get diplomatic, recruitment, construction and event reports every turn and notices of skill and retinue increases.

Thats the thing. I'm not getting any notifications.

If the army still has a living general the army will survive. Is there a surviving general when you defeat them?

Nope.

Is it not possible the last remnants of the beaten army have retreated to another army stack or into a forest location, thus disappear out of sight? Quite often a few men will survive and not simply disband. And they can retreat a fair distance too. I've massacred several enemy stacks recently, but only got the disband icon a couple of times. As long as I know I killed most of them in the battle, it doesn't really matter that much if a few survived. I'll get them sooner or later.
