Soldiers can't finish very first mission

[eserlik]

They just return to castle, wait few days and go again on the same mission.
And mission is never complete

Let it cycle about 4 times. The small update that is in the same spot a trader buy/sell updates occurs is NOT the end of the mission. When the mission ends, you will get a large banner telling you the number of wounded, killed, trophies indicating level of success, etc.

That is how missions work in the release version, they need to do that 4-5 times and then the mission completes
