Routing troops in Bridge provinces

[Jef Costello]

I haven't patched my version of Shogun (WE) and I wondered if I needed to. I've lost whole units recently when routing reinforcement ashigaru have run through my archers because I wasn't paying attention.

I normally try to keep at least one unit back to hit routing enemy troops but I still find, because of the bottleneck that I often get casualties from routing troops. Is there a way to avoid this? If the only answer is 'move your troops' then I can accept that :)

I'm not an expert, but I would guess that you should patch it up. That's what I would try anyway. I remember when I first had the game, kept fighting repeated battles in a defense for a province and that army was becoming quite experienced. Though it's numbers were dwindling and I had little to no time and/or opportunity to replenish them. I would get so angry that routing troops would run thru my lines and inflict greater casualties. I think the patch corrected this, but again, I am no expert. Hope that's helpful!

I don't think the Warlord Edition needs patching. WE is basically STW + Mongol Invasion combined and patched up.

Just check the version number on the main menu. Should be v1.02.

Don't be confused by threads mentioning "v1.12", this is actually an older version of the game.

There is/was a separate patch that solved the reinforcement bug. It makes AI reinforcements enter from the AI's side of the map. I can't seem to locate the d/l site at the moment......so if someone has that info perhaps they could post it.

the downloadsite would be much appreciated :) i'm growing sick of getting surrounded by enemy reinforcements. especially after just driving the enemy away in an epic battle with my units very tired up to exhausted
