Fleeing from battle?

[Adjuchas]

Occasionally Lords register their distaste that I am rumoured to have fled from battle.. I assumed that this was because I was knocked out in a fight and was carried away from the battle.. I resumed immidiately afterwards and won... now I've started a new game, have not fled from a battle, lost a battle or even have been knocked out and some Lords are making comments about me fleeing from battle! I'll note that the Lords saying this to me were part of a nation I was briefly at war with (I captured a city from them and made peace).

Is this a bug or just a former enemy defaming me?

If you click leave after a battle, even if you didnt start fightIng yet, they see it as leaving

Aye in steps it is this...: 1. You see a battle. 2. You approach. 3. You say in your mind...Holy shi*! 700 vs 12?!?! I' leaving! 4. The lord hates you.

Really?? I don't see why I'm entitled to join their fights... in the new game I've remained totally isolated and neutral (aside from capturing a city to store my spare soldiers..).

So even if I'm unassociated with a nation they still give me a bad reputation if I walk on by?

If you havent interacted with the party (or battle) they cannot say that you have fled, but I'm getting this aswell ...
So I'm guessing theres a bug on it

I have never left a single battle and I get these "You fled blah blah blah rumors" from all my opponents...
I was only knocked out in a fight and carried away from battle,but still won on the following fight, so I guess that counts as fleeing from battle I guess.

Also I'm getting messages Thanking me for letting them go free or whatever, when in reality I haven't encoutered/fought them before.
Happens a lot with nobles I'm allied with as well.
