In the past games all you needed to do is place two characters in the same stack and click and drag the followers between them, that way you could preserve great followers or get rid of nasty ones from usually good characters. I have a general who has generated a retinue of great followers that I want to transfer to his replacement and I find you can't do that. Is this an actual bug in the game or is this feature not in Empire? Sorry if this has come up before but a search brought up a hit in the huge Bug Reporting thread and I couldn't find it in there.
