This may ring to be the strangest bug I have ever seen in M&B. Or, in fact, in almost any game.
I am playing v1.011, installed through Steam. I used the Battlesizer mod to a size of 400 and I have the Native Expanded mod installed, the most current version. I have no other mods installed.
I am around day 300 in the game. In the past few minutes of play I was wandering around looking for smaller lord parties to take out to build up some morale for an assault on a Dark Knight castle. I found a Vaegris company, which I'm at war with, and attacked. After I won the battle, I hit tab and ended. I was immediately put into another battle that was just 1 dude. I was half tempted to use auto battle, but something inspired me to do otherwise. I then began running forward, wanting to be the one to lance the dude to death. I thought perhaps it was the Lord I had attacked.
Boy was I surprised. As I approached, the NPC i was going after did not move. Also, it looked curiously like me. I found out why when my lance actually hit. You'll see the hilarity or whatever you want to call it below. I lanced myself to death, I saw the combat screen indicate that I was on the enemy side and had been defeated, I got to take myself prisoner, and now I am carrying around myself in my party.
Interestingly, despite being at full health when I lanced my supposed doppleganger, my health was also reduced to 10% when I exited the combat screen. This is despite the fact I have 3 doctors in my group, with 7, 8 and 9 in First Aid.
I have saved a copy of my save games.
*** UPDATE ***
The bug gets EVEN WEIRDER!!!
A few game days after this incident, I go after another Dark Knight company. I attack the company and I see the same dialogue you expect to see when you tell a lord about the potential usurper - you know, where the prompt is "I have heard in my travels someone who calls themselves yadda yadda..."
Except the person I heard in my travels is apparently me!!!! See pictures 10-13 !
*** UPDATE 3 ***
It happened AGAIN! This time after fighting a Nord company. This time, a few days later, I got a ransom notice for myself!!! See the pics at the very bottom.
Here's the pictures:
