Weapons now break? (v0.7.965 Beta)

[Dazzy_D]

I've had this happen over my last few games on the latest beta.

Attacked a bandit camp using 20 spearmen thanks to the freebies at settlement level 2, all 20 survived the fight, returned home and disbanded, next time I raise the troops 19 appear because I only have 19 spears to go with my 20 shields.

If 19 spearmen was because one got killed then I would have lost a shield as well. None stolen by bandits as I wipe them out the near instant they generate so they don't get chance to teleport in, steal stuff, then teleport back to camp.

First few times it happened, I just thought I wasn't paying attention but I've had it happen again for the 4th or 5th time and I am 100% certain that no troops were lost during the battle.

So do weapons now break? Battlefield loot recovery has been snuck into the game unannounced? Glitch? Or does Derpy McDerpDerp, my village idiot, confuse spears for food and keep eating them?

Similar case for me. 1 dead, lost 3 spears

Odd, I never had that issue. You lose equipment with soldiers, but I've never seen a piece of equipment disappear when a casuality wasn't involved. Might be a bug of some sort. I saw villagers getting confused about picking up and storing weapons - I noticed this because I have my trader set up to bring in new weapons to ensure there is always one-unit worth of them - and sometimes, for some reason, the trader would be informed that a weapon is missing, and would bring it to the town, resulting in me having more than the set 36 weapons for... some reason, the way the game measures how many weapons you have seems to be unreliable.
But I've never seen militia being disabled due to lack of equipment that wasn't just one of them dying (and his friends being utterly unwilling to pick up the damn stuff - and his corpose, which they absolutely SHOULD bring back to the village to be burried).

Now that I think about it, the whole "you lose weapon when a soldier dies" makes no logical sense. Again - are they leaving their fallen comrades just to rot? In a christian settings, where proper christian burrial is so damn important? I'm pretty sure the burrial plots still appear at the church when your militia man dies outside of your territory...
Anyway, minor complaint of course, but yeah. It makes less and less sense the more I think about it.

Same thing for me, no losses, lost a set of gear.
