Disappearing captains

[Herman]

So this is pissing me off. I got a legendary Terror beastmaster in my army, i gave him a trading order so he would be able to ride a caragor, i made him my bodyguard AND THEN HE DISAPPEARED.
When i try to summon him I get 3 orcs instead and he is not on the army screen.... This has happened to me twice now and its getting really annoying.

So this is a month later, and I'm still noticing the issue! I was recruiting captains last night, and literally within seconds after recruiting them and telling them to retreat, I go to the army page to give them commands, and they're not there!! The spot isn't empty, they get replaced by a nonrecruited orc, usually much weaker and always not epic/legendary. They had time to release the slaughter tribe but why recruit or purchase boxes if they won't fix this bug!!

(PS4) When this happened to me the first time, I threw a fit because it was a very good legendary pre-order acquisition that I carefully planted. Then...gone. Figured it was some stupid glitch, then it happened again. And again. And again. And again. Yeah, after 5 times I trust NOTHING about my army in Nurnen. Sending warchest captains there is paramount to eventually seeing them disappear into thin air. Also, dominating new captains usually results in never seeing them show up in your army at all! I love this game and the previous one, but this is a major buzz-kill. FIX THIS NOW!!!

Its only in Nurnen right? Holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥. Trying to get a good set up to defend the fort and this ♥♥♥♥ happens, seriously it is indeed a buzz kill, just tilted myself out of the game right now for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake. Gonna watch netflix .

Never had this occur. Confirm whether you did the Bruz missions, as stated previously.

Also, I feel like people are doing Online Conquests, Sieges, and getting confused that you can't bring them back to your own world.

With the Slaughter DLC, however. The Slaughter captains have NO DEFAULT slots on the Army page. So, if you already have a full army, and defeat/dominate one; they won't have anywhere to go. Same thing for the feud (forgot the name) missions. All of those captains disappear once the mission is over.

The only other time captains "disappear" is when they fail a Nemesis/Raid/Hunt mission. Purchased captains are not exempt from this happening

It's probably due to the Bruz missions then? I got the fortress defense in Nurnen from him, that's why I was trying to get a few decent warchiefs before starting it, but it looks like I should just do that then, and retry later to see if it fixed.

Just in case someone happens to find themselves here since its now on the gamepass. If you force close your game via alt+f4 or force close options on consoles, reload the game and immediately check the other areas you should find them in random open spots in the other kingdoms.
