Unable to call dragon in to battles

[V1ribus]

Started in the Aegon's conquest bookmark and fired the game up playing as Aegon. The dragon feature was working great for the conquest of the Stormlands and worked fine for the conquest of the Reach but now in my conquest of Dorne I can only deploy my dragon in sieges and not in battles at all despite myself leading the centre of my troops - Balerion the Black Dread isn't injured at all (is in perfect health) so that isn't the problem; am I missing something or have I ran in to a bug?

I think its intended, ran into the same thing in one of our MP games when we couldnt use our dragons to completly burn these dornish rebels.

We still won after losing a ton of men.

Am I reading in to that right - it's only ever going to be against Dorne when I can't deploy my dragon?

edit: Don't worry - hunted through the decision files and found this

NOT = {
				location = { 
					kingdom = { title = k_dorne }
					OR = {
						terrain = mountain 
						terrain = desert
					}	
				}
			}

There is currently a bug in the game that makes your leader at the same time leading an army (and possibly its wing) and not be in charge. This can easily be spotted by looking at the "no longer in command" news. at the top right corner. It's not a game-breaking bug; can be easily fixed by rearranging the troop commanders, however if you enter battle with it you won't get the option to use the dragon, since for that chain of events the game'll consider you're sittin' back home.

Dragons cannot be used for battles in Dorne.

I had something happen once or twice where Aegon was leading the army, but Balerion was back home in the castle, so I couldn't use him in battle. The dragon wasn't injured either. Fortunately (the bug?) fixed itself.

Why cannot dragons be used in Dorne? Doesn't the terrain allow them to fly?

My guess is to help represent the difficulty that Aegon and his sisters had in attempting to conquer Dorne using dragons.

Not having them at all is a bit much maybe. Perhaps ramping up the likelihood of them being killed if used in battle/siege in Dorne would be more appropriate.

What? I mean I get the reason but...still, not using them at all? And for all time periods whatsoever? That is not very gameplay-wise justified.
