How do you disband a party?

[OldGamer]

So I have created a party with a companion leading them. I also created another since that one for a caravan. the first one is just like me, going around beating up bandits, yet doesn't seem to pay for himself? Anyway, I want to dissolve that one just until the caravan makes me some cash daily.

I have already made some recruits jobless, hopefully they stay in the town I dismissed them in, because hopefully there will be better bounty like i had in the past! I was making 15k per fight, now I am going backwards after shelling 15k for a caravan it seems.

Any help is appreciated.

Press L to open the clan menu and you should see 4 or 5 tabs, one of them is for your active parties.

Your companion party doesnt pay for itself, it helps you slowly grow reputation with town nobles and in theory help them prosper.

Bump again. You can disband a companion party from the clan menu, but they just reappear somewhere else and start recruiting units again and you have no option to reintroduce them into your own party. I have noticed that if they are defeated in a battle you can get them back from a town. But disbanding doesn't work.

I assume this is broken, I also can never get my wife back since she is patrolling. No kids for us I guess.

I've been unable to pull my party back into my 'main clan' party either.

Wait! I may have found a workaround:

Join a Kingdom, and assign your Clan Party orders to join you as an Army. Once they meet up with you and start following you, visit a village and you may (mixed results) see them as one of the village representatives. Talk to them as you'd talk to any other village representative, and say that you want to 'view the troops' - At that point, you can shuffle all the party members back into your main party. It's clunky, but worked for me on the first try.

Does that help anybody else?

Quick question, i tride a little diffrent aproach. I just talkt to her on the map and I to had the option to view her trops and put them into my party. I also could drag and drop my heros around but they would just snap back to their original party. So my question is: Is this a diffrent "view the troops", than the one you were talking about or is this work-around now also broken?

If you disband your companions party (done in clan tab L) you will be able to see in clan tab what town they are staying at. Go there and find them (usually in the tavern) and talk to them and ask them to join you again and done.

aight that sounds like a good plan. I tried disbanding her party before but then to the side of her name there was something written in the likes of "pending", but baybe I need to wait a little. Anyways thanks for the help will try it tomorrow.

everytime i went and disbaned a party including wifes if i dont have a fief they usually spawn on the other side of the world usually in a castle

Ar870, that does not work, as soon as you disband a party they just start recruiting a new one.

Hey, I had success disbanding parties last night, after a bunch of trial and error.

Context:
During a war, I pulled my garrison into my party, then made 3 parties with my companions, and distributed the troops that way. I then made an army, enlisted the parties, and went stomping. Afterwards, I wanted to go back to normal.

Success:
1. Without disbanding my army, I went to a castle I owned, and spoke with each of my companions in the Lords Hall. I asked to inspect their troops, and took the troops back into my party.
2. Then, I deposited the troops back in the garrison (obviously not integral, just so you don't lose them).
3. I then left the castle and went a very short way away.
4. I then disbanded my army, unpaused for a second, then disbanded my parties. The companions then successfully returned to the castle, and when I entered the castle again, I could click their portrait, and "Take Hero back into Party".

Thoughts:
In past attempts, when I attempted to disband a party with troops, the companion and their troops would return to a nearby castle and disappear, essentially. The clan page would show "HOLDING" in all caps, ominously, but I could not find them. Occasionally I also saw them on the other side of the map, as people mentioned previously. I think the error might come from disbanding a party with troops, so this might work in any context if you take their troops first.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for that!

Hey to all,

I just figured how to disband a companion's party on the map. You just simply go to the clan menu, then go to the parties tab, and next to the party leader's name there is an option to change leader. Open that option and there you can disband the party or change the leader.

Hope that helps some people!
