Can't disband army wtf?

[pinkfloyd9193]

Playing as Adventurer, I joined a Holy War and everywhere I friggin moved I would take attrition, doesn't matter if my army was under the Supply Cap. Well eventually, I just ran out of supplies and started taking attrition.

Well how the fk do i resupply? I tried moving out of enemy territory but I'm just taking attrition no matter where I move. I can't disband the army because i have to be in "friendly" territory, whatever the hell that means. I can't move campsite because my army is raised.

Am i just supposed to sit here until my entire army dies due to attrition? Frustration as hell...

Edit: So i had to run all the way back to France until I could disband...Sometimes I just don't understand this game...

Not being able to disband whenever you want during a war is intended to prevent cheese like quickly disbanding because a bigger enemy army is coming or to prevent you from circumventing a game mechanic; supplies. Normally friendly territory is either your own or an ally (although you do not have your own as an adventurer).

For the mechanic itself, every barony has a supply limit. Any army above that limit will lose supply on the monthly tick. Any army below that limit will instead restore some supply. This is why moving a big doomstack is not a good long term strategy as you will burn through supplies very fast. You likely do not have a massive stack as an adventurer, but if you cannot find a nearby barony with enough supply, split up your forces across multiple baronies and wait for them to resupply (just mind they do not get sniped).

As a side note, supply limits is why you often see crusades fail because they park their massive combined stacks everywhere and just die to attrition.

"Friendly territory" in this context literally means "Move them back to where your camp is"
