Does party priority even do anything?

I put them on defensive and within 2 minutes of creating them they go to join an army.

No matter the setting, they can still be called to an ai army. It is very unfortunate.

yes I do not believe party priority does anything either.

It makes you feel like you are in charge of the AI

If you put it on Aggressive, your party will raid enemy villages and also chase enemy further (and get themselves caught)

I always put them on defensive so that they won't venture into enemy lands to suicide. But more often than not they end up joining a lord's army and get defeated anyway.

I'm not in a kingdom, so my party did not join an army. But when I put the party on Defensive, they just kicked back in my one fief and haven't gone anywhere since.

Defensive: stay at home and protecc
Aggressive: go to enemy and attacc
Either way, if called to join army, they go.

Player Parties in Bannerlord:
They Protecc
They Attacc
But most importantly, they got other lords bacc

They do not "stay" either. It would seem they should. But if you have them on defensive it depends on where you "want them to stay". If you have Galend, Maybe they do stick around. I doubt it.

But if you are empire, there is a super high chance (every time I've had any of them on defensive) they will talk 2 towns over, 3 towns over.. 3 castles over.. etc. They are going to "get troops" or chase a bandit. But then they rarely if ever come back.

This mechanic needs some work IMO
