Raiding not working

[DSGreeg]

Hi everyone. I started a new game after the latest patch (which made old saves invalid?) and raiding seems to be bugged - an army in a raiding stance just stand over a settlement with available loot, but then is able to raid another settlement. The army definitely had enough troops. I restarted the same leader several times, sometimes the army raids, sometimes it does not. Has anyone had this issue since the last big patch? Thank you.

Did you have a truce with the owner of that settlement?

You can't raid somebody you have a truce with. IIRC them beating your raiding army in a battle also prevents you from raiding them again for a set period of time.

You also cannot raid a fellow vassal.

I did quite a few Norse playthroughs since the DLC release, all with heavy raiding.

Whenever i couldn't raid, it was because i either missed the "torch" icon hidden under another flag/icon, or i had a truce from a previous war.

I just loaded my current save again and tested - I made sure my army is in raiding stance and the lord being raided is not an ally or has a truce with me. When my raiders reach the destination with loot available, I can see the raiding bar for like a millisecond before it disappears, but the loot is not taken, and nothing else is happening. I played this lord before the last patch and remember being able to raid the same counties which I cannot raid now.

Is a neutral army sieging the county?

Any mods installed?

No armies, no mods at all. I tried starting another lord and raiding was fine. I am trying to play Daurama, when I played her previously, I raided/conquered all territories around up to forming an empire and never had any raiding issues, so it feels like something has changed, but I cannot figure out what.

I have gotten this issue before, from what i can tell its a game bug. Like others said, if you try to raid a vassal or who youre vassalized to, or someone you have a truce with. But other than that if you have a raiding army when you put it on top of a neighbors holding it should be raiding, assuming there is loot in there anyway.

But i have had your exact issue plenty of times. I would raid someone (or try to) because simply they kept raiding me, and i would go all over their lands to raid and my guys would sit there doing nothing at all. sometimes the raiding bar would come up and then it would just go away. And to anyone who would gate keep this as not a bug and say i probably didnt have armies large enough to raid in any of those times thats also not true. My armies were always well over the levy size the holdings had.

To me it definitely seems to be a bug. I also use no mods. but ive also had this happen many times. Sometimes i can get it to fix by bringing my army back to my territory then moving them back to raid. Other times i have to bring them back, disband them and then raise them again and then attempt raiding again.

I too think it is a bug cause I definitely remember performing raiding the same way I perform it now with the same leader. I guess I will wait until it is fixed.
