how to lose control over an army

[blah.blah.blah]

This isn't a bug that is likely to come up very often, but here goes anyway: While playing France, I invaded Sardinia with a large army, and lost the battle. The troops tried to retreat into the fleet offshore, but that fleet lost a naval battle while the retreat was going on, and itself left the sea zone. The army then kept trying to retreat, and became useless. It wouldn't embark on ships when I moved them back into the sea zone, and it couldn't stop moving. The only thing to do was disband them.

Do you have a saved game just before the attack, or while your army is continously retreating? If you do, please it to me: mailto:thomas.hautesserres@managedstorage.fr .

Thanks,

IF u lost the naval battle, the option to retreat was gone for the army which should have been annihilated in that case ...

As BiB said, the army should be destroyed. Is the army showing up on the display only, or is it in the save file as existing?

This was a bug I found in the beta process. It should be fixed in the next public patch, the army will be destroyed.
