I'm still having to pay wages for patrols i've disbanded.
When i went to my guy at my court and told him to disband some patrols he sent out the messengers to my patrols, but now they're just sitting there costing me money.
I did search the board for 'patrol bug' btw.
That's a Diplomacy error. The patrols are still out there which is why you're paying them. For some reason the messengers sent to disband the patrol don't spawn, they don't talk to the patrol, and the patrol continues on its merry way..
The correct answer is to order your patrols back to your castle -- or if you don't want the troops anymore, to order them to a castle you don't own. they join the garrison, they're not on patrol, you don't have to pay them anymore. If for some reason the constable isn't finding the patrols after the disband order, you're going to have to ride around and find them on your own. Good luck with that.
