I think its a well known bug that merc admirals keep vanishing from the hired fleet because the AI keeps reassigning them to the reinforcements. I actually found a fix for that, strangely enough a pretty simple one. The admirals stopped leaving the fleet after I edited the "overlord_enlaves_events.txt" by changing "run_in_ai_mode = yes" to "run_in_ai_mode = no" under "Mercenary Enclave: HIRE FLEET".

So, I'm not a modder and have zero clue what "run in ai mode" actually means, I merely observed that my fix works without any undesired side effects, from what I can tell at least.

What bugs me, is that after nearly a year since Overlord released, there is still no offical bugfix from Paradox and even on the internet there is no fix for it to be found.



Could someone with a clue look into this and verify that its a viable bugfix or does it actually break something I'm not aware of?
