War party or Waiting Party?

[Jarskull]

I mentioned this problem back before 7.31 but I was having trouble getting my allied Hosts to engage even the smallest bands of scouts that were chasing my tiny party. I'd run like hell from the enemy scouts, then see a massive allied Host patrolling straight towards me. YAY I thought- hoping the Host would engage the small band of scouts and I could then jump into the fray. But no- the Host just kept patrolling, or waiting while the scouts either paid no attention to the host or decided to run from the host. 7.31 seemed to resolve this.

Now I am playing 7.51 and it's back. I've only seen it a few times so far but am posting about it now. I've searched the boards for this topic but you give me a better idea for a search term than "not engaging" and I'll try that. Anyone else notice this or know an answer or thread addressing this

Hmm... i don't know, i think that it's intended. i mean, if you were a war party, it's not your job to hunt down things like scouts, and at least they run from it, keeping you safe.

Whether a party will attack another, flee etc is dependent on the aggression level set and the relationship between factions.
