The rule can currently not be disabled due do lack of demand. The rule is mainly to prevent players selling armies as soon as they sense danger to deny experience to the enemy. Attacks, harass, etc. outside your territory needs to carry a risk.

Alright, but it doesn't make sense why it can't at least be an option to turn off, especially if you're looking for the most vanilla experience possible. Maybe disbanding should still be an option.

Here's a suggestion I think is valid though. I noticed this patch fixes bugs not normally fixable through mods. I'm not sure if it's been suggested before and can't be done or if it's simply an oversight, but is the naval spawn point bug an issue that's being looked at?

I'm not the only person who's become a victim of this naval spawn point bug, where selecting a spawn point for boats can sometimes end up on the wrong tile and become stuck there/invisible for the rest of the game. This results in boats always spawning/teleporting on the selected tile permanently (in my experience I seldom notice when I do this accidentally), and afaik there's no way to reset the naval spawn point back to the original location.

I don't know how much discussion there is about this bug and I'm not much of a coder, but as far as I can tell, the game only checks whether the anchor point tile you selected is an ocean til that's being exploited. It doesn't seem to check whether it's actually OWNED by you, or even in the same region. Since it's ANY exploited ocean tile, you can set the spawn point on yours, or even your enemy's fortresses (and cities!!!) so long as you have that part of the map explored (you don't even need visibility!).

I think appending a check to ensure the selected naval spawn point is in the same region is all that's needed.

Anyways, whatever happens, I hope my one criticism doesn't betray how much I appreciate this patch. It's excellent, and has significantly enhanced my experience playing this game. Thanks~

You always have to keep in mind that I do this in me free time and every additional option, every little change takes time that I dont really have.There was a time where I tried to please everyone, but what happens is you get 10 people in your channel asking for minute changes/options all the time. I had to learn to say "no".

This is also the reason, why I typically operate under the rule "savegame or it didnt happen" in the case of bug reports ;). Do you happen to have a save where your issue is reproducable?

Yeah, time is finite, totally understandable. Like I said, I totally appreciate this patch as it is. It's so good that I'll never play the game without it, for sure.

I think the bug could be reproduced in literally any current save, though. All that's needed is a naval spawn point.

Maybe there is a future where I find the time to read the modding tutorials and make a bugfix, myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Certainly no promises

Glad to see you're still working on this. THIS is one of the grandest reasons why I still play EL. You're a hero!

It's also a reason that I still wish for more races :(

Ardent Mages - Turn 118.sav

Found a bug. I attacked an enemy urkan that was crossing the sea, once I killed him I obviously captured him, but I can't move him. All I can do is to turn on auto explore and hope he reaches land. Any potential fix for this?

Allayi - Turn 78.sav

Found a new bug, this is rather bizarre and I have never seen it before so it might not be on demand. But I can see this being a big problem in multiplayer if an accident happens.
I recently lost my urkan to the neighbouring faction. They released it. I attacked the urkan, but the game demands me to "be at war with it". If I cancel, fine, if I do it again however, the game new pop up window locks me out from proceeding. Forcing me to restart.
