Disbanding away from home

[unmerged(42609)]

I'm concerned about the reason disbanding in enemy territory and at sea causes the regiment to lose all manpower. What does it represent?

If you abandon them deep in enemy territory, I can see that many don't make it back home.

If you just made peace with your neighbour, letting them keep the province, and tell the men to go home, in the next province, do they go AWOL for the rest of their life?

Do the men at sea jump overboard when peace is made? This I see often around the Baltic, when my vassals join the war and I conquer some 1-province pagan. They start shipping their regiments, but I win the war before they make it ashore, and bye bye all men at sea.

The game engine has its limitations. Disbanding your army outside of your realm will result in a total disappearance of the troops,is it realistic ? Not always. But not much can be done about it I am afraid.

Since, you can also use something like this to your advantage. You are king of Scotland and with the regiment of Lothian you conquer the province of Basra. But you are also under attack from one your vassals in Scotland. So what do you do after you have conquered Basra. You disband your regiment there and you can immediateley mobilize it again in Lothian.

So what i am trying to say is somethings in the game are abstracted and unrealistic but I don't see any easy change for this.

About you AI vassals disbanding their troops at sea, I never really noticed that, but then I don't really pay that much attention to. The AI seems to be able to replenish his regiments pretty fast, so for me it is not a major problem.
