    Default Won the battle, lost my army?

    Playing Rome, launch sea-borne invasion of Massilia.

    Full stack of land troops in transports, escorted by an admiral and 5 or 6 ships.

    Massilia undefended except for garrison and a slightly larger navy than mine.

    Its navy manages to sink mine, but my land forces beach successfully and take the City.

    I get the Victory screen, and choose to occupy.

    Return to the campaign map, where of course my navy sinks (because Massilian navy defeated it), but TAKING MY LAND FORCES WITH IT. WTF?

    So I won the city, but because I lost my naval escort, I lost my army too? On the battle map they all survived handily. On the campaign map they went down with the navy.

    There’s a problem there . . .

    The risk of ordering a pre-alpha game

    Sounds kinda weird. Got any screenshots? I'm not entirely sure I understand what happened.

    Not tested.

    Was the land troops still attached to the navy? If so that might explain it, as even though you won the navy was lost, so the overworld navy sinks - but as the transports are attached to it, it probably assumed they were lost as well.

    Either way, should send in a bug report.

    krisslanza - exactly right. My land forces were still 'attached' or merged with my naval forces. So in the battle map, my navy sinks, but my army takes the city. But on the campaign map, because my navy lost and sank, I lost all my 'attached' land forces too. How does one send a bug report?

    Is it bad that i lol'd happen once to me as well. I think it is a known issue, i remember over on official forums there was a thread about losing an army when the navy auto disband's due to admiral. There is a work around...all ways detach land from navy before all army/ settlement interactions This also helps for weird pathing, my navies have a standing order, everyone gets on/off in the bay no exceptions

    *note to self: never attach the transport to the fleet.
