You'll probably call this a suggestion rather than a bug, but it needs to be fixed. 2 things regarding NPC movement/placement...
1) Lost a battle near Chaikland. When they show up, 2 of my companions are at Quayaz. Now understand I am part of the Aserai empire. My holdings include Odokh, Akkalat, and Ortongard as well as about a 1/2 dozen castles in former Khuzait territory. Why did the companions go to Quayaz? They shouldn't. I'll admit Quayaz is part of the Aserai territory, but it is literally the farthest town from where they were captured. Chaikland is an Aseerai town. They could have gone there. The war was with Khuzait. I don't know what Khuzait town they were taken too, but the only Khuzait holdings are currently in the Northeast of the map. They went to the Southeast. They should go to one of 2 places. Either to the closest Aserai town/castle or to one of my holdings (presumably towns).
2) Same game, same day's play through, so I still have the same holdings. War has just ended and Fathid comes of age. I go pick him up at Akkalat, which actually makes sense, then I go to gather another companion that went to Amprela (which is held by the Northern Empire and is at least close to where the companion was captured, but again I don't know why the companion went there instead of to my holdings, or at least an Aserai holding). While in Amprela, I ask one of the lords to make a marriage alliance and he agrees. Fathid marries Lucala. She is at Syratos castle, which is not far away. So I go directly to Syratos Castle, with Fathid still in my party. She isn't there. I check the clan page and it says she is at Ortongard. OK, it makes sense she goes to my closest town. I decide to pick her up after picking up the companions at Quayaz. When I get to Syronea I check again. Now Lucala is at Iyakis. How did she get there so fast? And why did she go there? Once I get to Danustica, I check again and she is at Razih.. Ok, at least I know what she's doing, she's on a tour of the Aserai territories. I did finally pick her up at Razih before she could pop off to another location. However, she's apparently either taking a fast train or airline flights.
Please fix this. There are too many wars for me to go across the whole map to 1) pick up someone who should have just gone to either my closest town or the closest town of my empire and 2) if I wasn't regularly checking I'd get to that spot across the map only to find the one I'm looking for is, perhaps, back where I started...unless you want to show me where the airports are on the map. I will say that at least when I got to Quayaz the 2 companions were still there.
