Hey Tomme,
how attacking enemy armies exactly works is still a topic of discussion amongst us. We absolutely want to avoid the endless chases around the world like they often happen in Mount & Blade. Some sort of Ara of Influence will probably be part of the solution. Similar to Shogun2. It also still has to be discussed when exactly a weak army decides to run from a strong army etc.
So as you see there’s still a bit of brain work to be done on that end :)
…and thanks for the compliment, Alesch .)
