Pao Archipelago

Hmm, why do enemies clearly ignore the hero when he's inside the castle? I was waiting for him to attack me – he was sitting in the castle with such an army – and he just walked past. But as soon as he left the castle, he immediately attacked me – I barely managed to defend myself. The next one also ignored me, even though his army was even stronger, and mine was the same. And you can't retreat during a battle in the field to a tavern – it's an immediate defeat.
