Evading Battle

No Battle in Anacan   (25 minutes ago)
Battle preparations were made in Anacan, but no battle took place because the following units successfully evaded combat: The Men of the Banner

***

Does this mean that someone's unit was set to murderous? So there WOULD have been battle for certain if my unit hadn't evaded combat?

I'm in Cathay's capital with an Arcaean; we're allied, so murderous is the only setting that would cause battle, correct?

No, it means someone's unit was set to evasive. It doesn't matter if there would be a battle or not; if anyone in the region successfully evades, that message shows up.

That message really is annoying and misleading.

Perhaps the game should make a check to see if there would have been a battle to begin with before giving that message to everyone?

That kind of change to the structure of the combat script will almost certainly not be looked at until the rest of the Doctrine Transition is completed.

(ie, when we Doctrinify the combat script)
