[1Z1][Bug/Gameplay] Party of soldiers

from Elemental Forums

I trained 2 parties of Life Wars (life wars are just peasants with the Life Tap Sword). Each party started with 4 units. I sent group  one to fight a spider and left the group 2 in my city. The group 1 lost 1 man from fighting the spider. The group 2 also lost 1 man although they were sitting in the city and not in combat. I then decided to send group 2 to fight a bandit and send group 1 no where in particular. Group 2 lost 1 man from the bandit fight and group 1 also lost 1 man although they did not fight anything.

Not sure if it's the same but sounds similar.

I had an army with my Sovereign that included a Party of Blitzers (4 members, as Party options says) against a Troll. Battle was won apparently without casualties in my army. BUt after the battle I noticed that the Partyy said 3 instead of 4. I supposed that I had lost 1 men in the party. But some turns later I discovered that all my new parties were all of 3 men. Why?

Altough I have the save game (maaaany turns later though), I crashes when trying to load it so I don't know if it's usefull or not.

I have tested to confirm this and YES.

3 Companies were built and them placed on 3 squares in a row. I then moved 1 Company up 2 squares, to avoid any possible adjanency related component and fought with a NPC and won with 1 unit Lost.

I then checked the other 2 Companies which indeed showed they had both also suffered a single loss.

Cool thanks.

P.S. After more tests, it seems if the groups are retured to town for even 1 Turn, the seem to return to full strength. Everything seems a bit weird though so who knows???

I cant even make groups...only individuals

If I recall correctly, when you continue to research warfare, you'll get to a tech that allows you to train companies.
