Parties (5/4) After Wedding

[OmegaNovaios]

If you wait until you have reached the max party size (4/4) and then get married to a spouse who is currently roaming with a party. He/she will join your Clan (and Kingdom) with that party. So you will now have a party size of (5/4) and can increase your army size with an additional party costing 0 influence. You can disband the party as normal and then it will drop back down to (4/4) and will be unable to create a new party past the maximum. If you choose never to disband a party at this point you will always have a party size of (5/4) and is exploitable.

It is not really exploitable, if they get captured then its gone, and if you disband its gone. if your army suffers to many losses in battle then its useless anyway. Also as far as I know you can only marry once... It can be an easy way to get decent troops if you marry early but if you aren't save scuming then you earned it anyway as the chances of not failing any of the checks its low. Also what would happen if they "fixed" this where would your spouse go? they still have their original job until you change it for clan matters or have them join your army. I just had to disband my wife's party because I got married way to early and the financial drain was to great. it is also more immersive with them maintaining their party.

Well, to be honest I enjoyed the game having an extra Party with the spouse, but as it is now "(5/4)" is a bug. Maybe they should implement a feature for Spouse = Party +1 regardless of Clan Tier.
