What's the hard limit for size of invading army?

Also if the commander stayed behind along with the units; that commander/units might not have the same move, so if you are moving more than one province away that commander ignores the move command and "defends"

This is very likely what happened. I have selected multiple commanders all with the same strategic move, lets say 3, but because of terrain 1 or 2 have stayed behind defending. Basically some may have forest or mountain survival etc...which effects movement.

That can't really happen with attacking though, unless most the army was flying and the rest wasn't.

Yea, your correct. It happens when I guess correctly where a enemy army invades and I arrange a warm reception...ie...a couple of thousands troops.

I was playing late age ermor when it happened. I don't remember all the details except that it was an adjacent province I invaded and the province I attacked from was not attacked.

I'll load up on units in the future and see if it happens again.

Thanks,
Chris

You can do some quick tests on a new game using mapedit commands. Just edit the .map file then start the game and clash armies from different nations.
