Reinforcements delayed?

[Cute Wolf]

And how about the tendency of elayed reinforcements when it comes to siege / siege relieving battles?

Uh, do you use your Preferences? There is a shortcut coming with the other EB-shortcuts or you can check it in EB\preferences\preferences.txt. A lot of useful stuff there. You can disable those ugly banners and arrow markers, f.e.

Yes, I have disabled the banners and arrow markers.... but UMOB? Never changed there anything.

Well it does, but for AI, not you. Engine does not allow you to control more than 20 units at once, so no matter how many reinforcing armies you have, you still can use only 20 units. However with UMOB:TRUE AI can attack you with as many armies as it has at once. This leads to interesting battles when you have a fullstack, but are still outnumbered 1:5 or even more. Gets even more interesting when you are attacked by combined forces of 2 factions..

Well except when you put your reenforcements under AI control. Then you can benefit from more than a fullstack (isn't a fullstack actually 18 units, not 20?)

Yes you are right that putting reinforcements under AI command gives you more troops overall. I had completely forgotten about that. Though the reinforcements AI is suicidal all the time (at least that's my experience).

As on the fullstack it's definitely 20 units. Look at this army of jerjes78:

Well. glad to see that you people enjoy my campaign. Before updating I must mention that for conquering cities and destructing enemy armies I'm using just one army.

The FM leading this army are: FL, FH and future FH, basically the all royal family. Note that those golden chevron were earned because of what I wrote 2 lines before

It's just the fact when you open the enemy army composition scroll it displays 2 lines x 9 unit slots, so it seems that 18 is the fullstack, but when AI has 20 units you can see them on the third line.

Yeah, putting reinforcements under AI control works fine if the AI army is mostly infantry (no suicid-a-charges toward sarissa)... but when they command horsemen....

QFT.

Ugly things have been comitted in the name of most major ideologies. This is not the place to discuss it.

[jirisys]

what did you mean by QFT, apart from that, i was once fighting against pyrrhos, and it took him a while, like 5 minutes to get there, he was the reinforcements to the lonely family member that made his "army" all by himself, until i realized that he was coming from behind my position (i was fighting on woods and the epeiros fation color blends very easily, i had enough time to react and reposition my men but not enough time for them to reform the formation, and they attacked me and i was like Omfg i hate that back-attacking silent SOB lol , but it was a hppy ending, Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus killed him yay!

To bring an old discussion up again; This is the reinforcements delayed message for MIITW:

I'd suppose RTW works the same way.

Maybe 'cause it's shopped and it's a joke...? lol

Anyways, what mod is that?

And that's probably Broken Cresent or whatever it's called..

No joke, I've gotten that message several times. Both in vanilla and modded M2TW.

And yeah, Arthur's right, it's Broken Crescent.

Hooray! I was correct!

Quite nice mod, but I keep coming back to EB though. I get bored with any other mod that I play after a few days, but I've been playing EB for years.

Anyway, that message doesn't mention CPU or anything in RTW, only in M2TW.

When it reaches the actual limit for your computer, it will display the info about CPU, in order to distinguish between those and "normal" delays.

That makes sense. I can't remember ever getting a "reinforcements delayed" without the CPU text though :|
