Twilight of the Idols

There's another issue... some units under guard, which should theoretically join (friendly troops blocked by enemy NPCs), are sometimes ignored... they want to fight! Is this intentional? I'm playing with friendly troops, meaning there are no mercenaries in my army.
Furthermore, the same enemy NPCs that should be blocking friendly units sometimes find themselves "under guard" of my potential troops. So, I first join my own troops, and then I attack the "guard" all at once.)))
And even more... I tried to attack the guards of objects from other factions in a row using save/load, and... up to 5 packs tried to join me (I would have had enough money), I could assemble a completely random army. WTF??
I don't have leadership or diplomacy.
P.S. I conclude that the author didn't quite finish this aspect.

Nival has left the chat.

During gameplay, some unpleasant bugs are observed: when summoning elementals (with fire warriors), the game crashes; summoning a phoenix summons an adept; and the elemental tower is guarded by anything but elementals.

Gargoyles and bone crushers tried to join, and archers are guarding the land lords. The fact is that all stacks are random, so our troops can also be generated.

Guards of the elemental towers

I didn't want to spoil the surprise, so I didn't write about the guards of the elemental towers (15 archangels, zealots, stone golems, and archers, blinding seraphs, and then quickly eliminating the rest, then shooting once and getting hit with divine wrath).
