Right. I understand hordes. I get that they are made out of the local population. I get that they go into the population of cities when you settle down again. I get that some are very good units.

What I don't get is why they don't all disappear when you occupy a region again? It is really goddamn annoying. I don't want them when I settle. I want them to get the hell out of my armies. Is there a way to make them all disappear (without disbanding them, I don't have the patience to sit down and disband 50 units) as soon as you occupy a city?

Nope. Half of your horde disbands when you capture a city, half of those remaining disband when you capture your second city and all the rest disband when you capture your third settlement.

There's really no reason to disband them straight away. They have an upkeep of 0 so you might as well use them for as long as possible.

Ok. I get that now.

Maybe half of yours do. Only one of my horde armies disbands when I take a city.

My complaining done; that said, I really like the Frankish Horde Chosen Swordsmen or whatever they are. They're pretty good.

What you tend to find is that the armies themselves might not disband but a lot of the units in them will. If you look, every time you settle a city all the horde armies in the vicinity usually become smaller.

Yeah it's quite easy to change it. Go to Descr_sm_factions.txt file in your bi/data folder.
Find the faction you want, go to the part where it has the horde options then it has 3 lines with the percent of disbanding on just change them all to 100.

What else is intresting is that you can do some real cool editing. I made it so that when factions horde, 500 stacks come out of the town. It's fun to watch

When a horde settles down it is only the units that have 'horde' in their title that will disband as these are your people pressed into military service. When given the chance to have a settled life again, they take it.

Other military units will not disband. They are your 'regular' military forces that you have before becoming a horde. They will remain after you stop being a horde.

If you have taken a lot of casualties among your regular (original) military forces, then you will notice that your total combat power drops significantly when you settle.

If you have taken casualties among your horde units, when you settle you'll find it harder to get your new settlement growing and/or recruit new military units.

Hope this clears matters up.

Now when it's explained like that...makes more sense...why couldn't I think of that myself...

Thank you.
