SP - General There NEEDS to be way to keep companions out of combat and SIEGES especially

[EmptyPepsiCans]

I agree that this is an issue, the way I fix it is make them join my army if they get a few hours away from me and release them from my army once they get too close. and right before attacking a fief transfer all their troops to my party so they will not give my hard-earned elite troops to some other lord.

I'd like the option to make companions noncombatants. That way my engineer, smith, doctor, and so forth would stay out of harm's way. I'd be fine with having to ransom them back after a lost battle.

Honestly very surprised there isn't an option to exclude certain troops/companions in the party window already, would be very useful to have. Especially now that troop composition may become more important with the bracing patch, you wouldn't want your anti-cavalry infantry in every battle where they might die to archers.
