What the Heck

[MaximusGauis]

I'm playing as ROMA. I have a General in Nikaia with half an Army. Plus two full outside. After I clicked End Turn. One of my Captains gets attacked by Macadens. Not sure on that spelling. So I click with with draw. So I can get my General. After withdrawing my General gets Attacked. So I click Auto. My General wins. This Battle started before End of Turn was finished loading. Now when I go back to Nikaia the Macadens have Nikaia. How the heck did they get in? When my General inside Nikaia won the Battle.

Sure the settlement wasn't bribed from you? Plus there is a bug that when you bribe a settlement sometimes the general will step outside for no reason at all.

[MaximusGauis]

No. My General was outside after the Battle. I used my diplomate to rebribe the town. Later the town killed my General. Those lousy rats.

Wonder if the general and his army somehow ended up moving out of the town as a result of their participation in the battle ? I know the victorious attacking army normally steps into the tile the defender occupied, but not when attacking out of settlements - and here it'd have been a defense battle in any case. Weird.

First time I've seen that happen. Has not happened with RTW or BI. I posted this. To see if anyone else had this happen in EB.

There is a weird bug with RTW that makes reinforcement armies from inside cities totally disappear (AI mostly) if the battle is fought out and reinforcements never arrive (usually do to the player's cpu, and whether or not the game thinks he can handle huge armies in large numbers - unlimited numbers), but the other army (the one outside the city) is defeated. Maybe it works the same way if it is a draw. But this is not fought out, but auto-resolved. I think it's possibly related to this issue, but I certainly don't think it's because of something we've done.

I was under the impression that armies being flipped out of existance only happens with rebels. Unless there is nowhere to retreat too, such as when on a tiny island. Which doesn't matter if your sitting in a town. When enemy reinforcements arrive from a town I make sure to whipe them out, because it saves me doing a seige the next turn.
