Question: Any troops that are there as a result of Province defense is in ADDITION to any troops there with a general correct?

Example: I have a small 5 person army there but a PD of 10. I get the 10 soldiers for the PD of 10 in addition to the 5 person army there.

wahoo

When attacked, yes.

Yup. Even troops without a commander will participate in province defence (so if you lost your commander conquering the province, the left over troops will join the PD defence when attacked).

Troops detaching from commanders

After winning a battle, I've found occasionally found troops from the army in the same province, but no longer in a squad under their previous commander. The battles were won, no commanders were lost or retreated.

I've also not noticed this and moved the commander on without all his troops. That's annoying.

Just occured to me: Is this new behavior for troops that route, but don't leave the field before the battle ends? If so, I don't like it. It adds micromanagement for no real effect. You just have to remember to check Army Setup in each province with a battle.

No, it existed in Doms 2. If troops rout of the field, then they end up detatched from the commander (in Doms 2, they'd usually end up in a different province).
With the new leadership stuff in doms 3, you'll probably see this a little more often than your used to (well, unless your Ermor

)

So the difference is routed troops will sometimes wind up in same province? (Assuming the battle is won, of course.)

That's good.

I'll have to double check, though. I'm pretty sure they didn't route off the field.

I don't think they need to actually leave the field, it seems to occur as soon as they rout.

If so, that's new and doesn't really add anything except the hassle of checking for them and reorganizing your army.
