It happens sometimes...especially if he gets rid of his early enemies before Ulthuan finds him. If he confederates Hellebron, it's usually a sign that he's rolling in the campaign.

Not sure why The boss didn't mention that when raising lords loyalty by adding/removing items if you remove it from them by adding it to another lord without unequipping it then you get the +loyalty but not the -loyalty, that way you can use 1 single item and keep swapping it between all your lords to get them all up to 10. also that way you don't leave items equipped on an unrecruited lord.

Whoever sent it just got scared or bored by what he gained all of a sudden.

While I love the Disaster Campaigns I think this wasn't one. The only thing that needed doing was actually adapting to the new situation. He isn't in any danger at all. 5 enemies and over a hundred settlements isn't a disaster at all. Maybe he was just too lazy to manage the armies himself and searched for someone who does it for him. the only thing that was a problem was the possible rebellions from heroes or settlements. This feels much more as a hit the panic button after seeing the f-up economy, loyalty and public order.

lords, heroes, and other characters in general get free movement within city tiles (tiles bordering the city and inside the city itself) which allows removing heroes and armies from the settlement even if the army has no movement. Heroes in armies may require the army to get out of the settlement before they get the costless movement out of the army though.
