I'm perfectly ok with the idea of it. I just wish the companion system were a bit more robust to support the idea. Hopefully it'll come with time. First thing I did was make a new save after it happened. But I kept going. And I will probably keep going rather than reloading. If I don't get a new scout, oh well.
It seems like you get more loot if you're there for the whole battle and you get more kills. I'm pretty sure the greater amount of kills your army gets % wise compared to the armies as whole gets the larger loot distribution. But large battles happen to divide up the loot in an unsatisfying way. Roguery affects loot.
