Levied units disappearing ?

[lahamut]

Hi

Wanted to check if i ran into a bug or this is indeed an expected behavior.

I'm playing as Hungary on deity against 5 AIs (small map, continents, standard speed) . I've levied military from 2 city states already, and from one of them twice. I was attacking another civ (egypt) but after conquering 3 cities i accepted their peace terms (had too little amount of units and too many cities left to defeat).

My plan was to wait the 10 terms - the timer on the levied units would just run out, I'd rehire them again and with some reinforcements march against them again. i lined up the levies against the border, but when the time ran out, the units simply despawned.

1) They are not returned to their original city state
2) I'm still controlling the city state
3) I can confirm that all of them disappeared as when i simply pay the city state again to levy the troops i only need to pay like 120g whereas before it was over 1000g and given i play hungary i upgraded all troops to max tech level, so would expect their prices just to increase

One thing I had in mind was that the troops were really far from the their city state. ie: their city state is in the northern tundra, and we were fighting close to the southern edge of the map.

I've played as hungary 5-6 games already, and used similar stats multiple times but i never had the entire army disappear. Since i built my strat around this tactic this game is kinda lost if i can't figure out what went wrong. (i've got autosaves and regular saves for the past 10 terms so can load a previous version as well to verify any potential issues).

Thanks for any help in advance !

I have heard that any units currently on tiles where you aren't allowed to have units will vanish.
