Reinforcments

[MoKus]

Hi everybody,

So I just initiated a battle with reinforcement but I have difficulty to reinforce. I first set assembly point
flag on a place on the map. The pointer however is red! I then click on reinforcement button but nothing happens.

Thanks,
MoKuS.

You can only have 16 units per faction on the battle map at any given time, so the reinforcement mechanics are implemented when the units in all your stacks exceed that. Assuming you are running v2.01 of the game, if a battle is to occur in a province that you have more than 16 units in, you should have seen a reinforcement screen before the battle. This allows you to pick the 16 units to start with, and place the excess units into a reinforcement ordering queue. Once inside the battle map, you can place the assembly point on the map, but you won't see a new unit until all men from a current unit leave the map (killed, captured, or fled/withdrawn from the field). Once a current unit is gone, a new unit will move onto the map (it takes a little time for them to walk to the assembly flag), and then they will be available for orders.

The units will arrive in the order they are placed in the reinforcement queue, so you should arrange the queue according to how you think your needs will change during the battle. Missile units withdrawn when they run out of ammo can be replaced by new missile units, more cav to chase down routing enemy, defensive units to stiffen a line against relentless attacks, etc. Just don't put siege units in the queue (or put them at the end if not desired at the start), as they cannot move siege pieces onto the map.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for explanation. I however have one free spot in the battle. I click the reinforcement button but nothing happen. Should I wait longer?

Probably yes. After a few seconds, you can usually spot the unit walking towards the edge of the map somewhere near your deployment zone. You will not have control of them until they reach the flag though.

If you have 15 or less units in the field and you click to call reinforcements, they will pop up immediately on the unit list at the bottom of the screen. This way you an check if you'll get something or not. Units literally come out of the map and there is a margin where you can't command units until they get deeper into the map. Placing assembly flag close to the edge of the map is a good strategy to get control of a unit immediately after it leaves that margin zone.

I see. But nothing happen when I click on reinforcement button!

First, are you sure you have more than 16 units in the province you start a battle (not counting artillery)?
2nd, before you call for reinforcement, make sure at least one entire unit (to the last men) left battlefield. If you're not sure, count units' icons at the bottom of the screen. If less than 16, you're good to go.
When all conditions are met the reinforcement button will be displayed in color. Otherwise, it'll be grayed out.
That's all. If it doesn't work, I don't know how to help you.
