Did they die, or did the rout to nearby provinces. Immortal commanders never rout in friendly dominion. Immortal troops do.

Did some more testing, but still cant figure it out.

The heroes of Spring and Autumn are immortal, and so I tested these out by sending them out to die in friendly dominions by having them attack indy provinces in friendly dominion barefisted.

In 14 situations where the targeted Indy province had a friendly dominion of 1 when I sent the Immortal in and a friendly dominion of 1 in the turn after which combat was resolved (in which he predictably "died" each time), he only returned once. No routing, no hiding, just death.

Can any dev maybe check this?

Immortals are not supposed to retreat under normal circumstances, but it can happen. If your immortals attacked an independent province (with your dominion) surrounded by independent (or enemy) provinces and retreated in the battle he will die the gruesome death. He has no place to retreat and is sort of left in the void.

Can this be the case?

Thank you for answering so promptly!

But: He had a friendly neighboring province into which he could have retreated had he wanted to. But apparently, he didnt retreat, he got killed (according to the battle replay anyhow).

Bloody silly behaviour, though, as the hero would be BETTER off by committing suicide while retreating

Good idea, next time try this scripting:

Cast Spell, Cast Spell, Cast Spell, Cast Spell, Cast Spell (Suicide)
