Right. I just felt into Art-of-war i call it (a few day ago, actually) and cant do anything else but going alone into battle (I choosed not to be commander), trying capturing towns, overcrowded by enemies.
Maybe something wrong wad transferred from Badlands? I finished previous mission, but it was finished with usual bug - 4 cities were captured, was not recognised as finished task. Mission ended anyway, somehow (without cheat command, just automatically).
