It happened again! I just finished bonking a sea raider party and headed for Wercheg when my ENTIRE PARTY abandoned me (except heroes), and many of them were good troops (mercenary cavalry, Nord warriors and huscarls). I went from 54 to 8 in one second. Maybe I'll just change back the morale and party size tweaks, ar at least go over them thoroughly again.
Huh, whats it saying they're leaving for? Low morale? Did you make sure that your morale wasn't low? I've had them desert for low morale before when the party morale was around 20, which is easy to get with a big party.
If it isn't that I don't see anything that might be causing it. I looked all through every file for all the different functions that I know of to remove troops from your party, and I can't find any kind of desertion trigger or script in .960 or in 1.003. I can only assume it's some kind of hard coded thing to check for desertion, but even then you'd think that it would reference the party size and morale scripts before causing it. Or actually, if you just WON a battle, maybe the morale bugged out when it added more? Whats your morale set to, maybe you tweaked it too high and it's going so high that its wrapping into negatives or something? It shouldn't be doing this either, though - the place where it adds morale clamps the value between 0 and 100.
