Siege - delegate command turns on when starting battle

[Rexicus]

Spent 10 min in the placement mode for siege, carefully placing my units, and making absolutely sure delegate command (ai) is toggled off. However, when I press start battle, the ai turns on again, removes all my groups and makes new ones, and send ALL of my units away from their initial placement..

I have not played in like a year, but I remember winning 200 vs 800 defensive sieges with careful group creation and placement. So is this something new, that you have to watch the ai send your units to their deaths, or is it a bug? And if someone happen to know a mod that simply turns off delegate command for siege, that would be awesome! Thanks for your time. :)

if you want a easy siege win, start with many siege units (catapults are best against units)

but dont change anything in the AI-siege-script... mostly your party elite soldiers start falling on any sword/spear or want jumping from the wall to death.

siege is like a village battle, but much more worse... no room to place units, to fight or move... a worst case scenario.

I am having the same problem. It is making it a nightmare to defend a siege.
it also swaps out the unit delegation that I have, where I have 4 units at the start then when i start the battle it divides them all into different squads for no reason.
