    Well if you conquer a settlement the scripted army that is assigned to said settlement should eventually cease to exist. *But* as some poor fellow experienced in his Sweboz campaign: mess with another scripted army settlement and lose -> army comes looking for revenge... (The army may lay siege on your previously conquered scripted army settlement. And if it does manage to conquer that back... Who knows the army you got yourself eventually rid of may appear yet again on your or the AI's following attempt to reconquer the forest.)

    EDIT: The thing is... those scripted armies aren't simply guards in sitting duck mode. Internally the principle has been/was/is called Roving General; which kinda explains it pretty well. The army will move within a certain radius of the scripted army settlements... and vanquish everything it can.

    Uff, as I thought it would be impossible to get rid of those socalled "über"-stacks. Ah, well ... one need to prepare this properly: four full stacks, many spies, and some time between the conquest of the next province.

    Ok, thank you for the answer,

    P.S.: Yes, I've understood the principle of the "roving-generals-guarding-a-settlement", as it was hinted already here and there.

    Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:

    "Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
    "The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"
