One thing I'm having trouble with - A companion was the leader of one of my squads, and he left the party. It still shows him as the leader of the squad, but he is not in my party list, and I cannot talk to him to "demote" him to not lead the squad. He also shows up in battles, but I cannot find him in any of the taverns. So is this an instance where I should restart the game or what?
Also, whenever the opportunity to recruit people from battles into my army arises and I don't take them, my "companion" will automatically take them. Pretty neat but IDK.
