Army dispersed in the middle of a siege

[wherearewee]

Not sure if this is a bug or just me misunderstanding how forming armies works.

Took an army to besiege a castle, and about half way through building siege weapons the whole army dispersed, leaving me to face a sally from the entire castle garrison, which of course ended in capture. Had the game running at highest speed so there was basically no time to react before the garrison was like, "get 'im boys!!!"

Anybody else seen this happen?

Yea lords are free to leave the army whenver they please... if the whole army dispersed it's probably because the commander ran out of leadership

 

[wherearewee]

Ran out of leadership???

I should have mentioned, I was the one who assembled the army with my influence. Does influence slowly drain while hosting an army?

There's a little meter in the bottom right of 'cohesion'.

I don't know what all it influences, but I imagine 0 is a forced disband of the army.

 

[Dearmad]

before it gets to 0 you need to pause. dismiss everyone and reinvite them. you SHOULD just be able to renew it with influence but they haven't gotten that far.

For me is strange that I attack a castle that is suppose to have 200 men. with my 150 men.
Where are those men? I don't see a great battle. It's very strange. It's like I attack 20.
