Summary​

Armies being deployed as invading formations automatically.

Description​

I think it's not a bug but poorly designed making you want to quit the game sometimes:

Once an army finished defending an invasion or occupying a front, it might be deployed to another existing front automatically, including naval/land invasion front, then you can't stop this deployment unless you cancel the invasion because the game considered this army formation as one of the invading formations.

This causes the big armies often traveling across the world despite having insufficient supply network just because you initiated a small scale invasion to disturb your enemy.

I have seen my 200 infantry units trying to swim to Europe to support an invading front after defending Beijing, and naturally their organization dropped to 0 before they could cross Indian ocean, and the worst part was you cannot cancell the deployment unless the invasion is cancelled.

Basically, naval invasions were a pain point before, and the 1.9 patch figured out a way to make them way worse.

For me the idea of the new naval invasion is better than the previous one, but there are many unpolished details that still need some works, like why you have to stare at the invasion icon to wait for the invading front to appear so that you can deploy an army in time.

For real, this a 11 on pain-scala.

Yes, this absolutely needs to be adressed. An option to disable each individual army from auto deploying after front collapse would be awesome.

It's basically a worse version of the previous front split issue. I can't help quitting the game everytime when I saw the whole army swimming to Europe from Beijing and leaving the entire capital region undefended, and you couldn't even tell them to come back.

Hello!

I would appreciate it if someone can send me a save where this issue is about to happen.

Hello!

I would appreciate it if someone can send me a save where this issue is about to happen.

The whole French armies in this save are about to leave France empty to join a naval invasion once they finish defending Paris, and you cannot call them back unless you give up the invasion. Something like this happens all the time when two countries try to invade each other, so I guess it's not difficult to reproduce it.

Alright, in that case the issue appears to be fixed in our most recent build.

I can station the armies back in the French HQs to abort the movent to Reunion.
