Lords following another lord instead of me?

[XSevSpreeX]

So currently I'm the marshal of the Nords and I've got most of their lords following me (which is great). However, when I was building a siege tower to besiege Radoghir Castle about half of the lords left, which I've experience before. What was different was that when I look at all the lords, they all say that they are following another lord, who's status is simply "Travelling." So I've got half of the lords sitting with me at a castle while I've got the other half following another lord. I'm still marshal, so I know that the lord they are following (Turya) is not the new one. Bug or no? If it is a bug I'll report it but I just wanted to make sure.

That's an interesting one. Doubt it is something intended as I had not seen it before.

Ya I never saw it in Native. Lords leaving is normal but not having half of them follow one and half following another. At least not from what I've seen.

Have you asked them what they are doing? Even in Native, lords will sometime follow "their friends" to go off an a raiding expedition or some such. If you ask, they typically say "I'm not joining the campaign, I'm following so-and-so to do such-and-such."

I hadn't tried that yet and I haven't played since I reported this so I can report back in a couple of minutes. It just seems odd that 6-7 lords would randomly decide to follow one at the same time when he's not marshal.

Ok so I asked Turya what he was doing and he said he was besieging Slezhk castle and he wasn't following me because he believed he could do greater deeds. All the other lords said they were following him and not me because they believed they could do greater things. Then I told Turya to follow me, and he did, but then the same lords that were following him began to follow Olaf who said he was besieging Reyvadin. That's still about 700 men that I'm losing.

Typically this is because your renown is too low and, secondarily, your relations with them aren't high enough.
But, again, this can happen in Native. Floris hasn't changed anything in this regard.

Ah ok. My renown is about 900 on this char, but the strange thing is that a couple of the lords that stopped following me had relations with me in the 30s. I'm assuming that they have a better relationship with the lords they decided to follow instead. Still never experienced this in Native but whatever.
