Resolved Troop formations start next to the enemy in village/hideout battles

[AngryPeasant]

If you assign troops to formations 5 or 6 in the party screen, they seem to start hideout/village battles in the middle of the map and start fighting straight away!

I'm just trying to get my troops into formation, but the killfeed is already going nuts!

I assume most people will be putting recruits and shieldless infantry into 5 and 6 respectively, so they're just going to get slaughtered!

Forwarding this issue to the QA team for further investigation. Thanks for reporting.

Yes! This happens to me. Nowadays, I refuse battle if too near a village. I move away and THEN jump the banditos!

Hi, are you still having the same problem after the latest patches?

 

[AngryPeasant]

Yes can confirm. Still happening!

I just got same issue for formation VI at Ebereth village when engaging looters nearby.
