How do you get your companion parties to not get captured all the time?
I've wanted to send out a couple companions to go out and grow an army/levels so I can bring them into my army and solo kill castles and towns. But anytime I set them up and send them on their way, they get captured and imprisoned a day or 2 later. I set them up with top tier units, then I see some messages that people are deserting them (I don't give them over their limit). I set up my one companion with insane gear to be a leader, hoping he could carry some fights.
Any pointers are appreciated!
Edit: Spelling.

Have you found a solution for this? I'm having the same issue, units keep deserting from companion parties and also my companions always get captured within a few days of them starting a party.
Hmm sort of. I only use companions that have high Intelligence/Steward skill, so the size of their personal army can grow. I also try to get them to have some Tactics, but I'm not sure if that helps or not. Other than that, I set them up with some of my units from my army (a good chunk, like 30'ish) and set them off on their adventure in a safer area.
When it says people desert their party, it just means they're over-recruiting, which they'll do. They still may get captured... but it seems to be a lot less than it used to be for me.
