Reinforcements?

In BI the reinforcements need some major modding, you can wait for 30 minutes and they wont come, the only way to make them come is to lose some of your men (Which is extremely flawed).

I like the reinforcements to come based on time, not the % of men lost. By the time the reinforcements do come the battle is arleady over.

The timing of the reinforcements is down to the number of men your computer can handle at once and the number of units you have under your control. you can mod out the former quite quickly in the preferences.txt file but that can make your battle lag quite badly if you are not carefull. they can only enter under AI control if you have a full stack already as the game will only allow control of 20 units by the player.

Actually performance wise it's worse in BI. All you have to do is kill 1 man with a missile unit and they arrive.

In RTW reenforcements would never come until you killed a few men in melee. You could spend all day peppering them abd not a thing would happen.

What I hate is when the horde lays siege with 3 stacks or more so you have to fight over 10000 men at once, wich nakes it lagariffic

Heh, stupid Barbarians. They always use too few siege towers. I had a battle where my troops wiped out the entire Goth Infantry over about an hour, I read a book while my guys stood on a wall and waited while, unit by unit, the enemy attack through one siege tower.

I always read during seiges...What was the book about?

See the thing is, iv had reinforcements not come even it wouldnt have lagged.

Get this, my force of 600 vs 1000 franks. I was really outnumbered, but even with the extra 600 reinforcements, that wouldnt of slowed my computer down.

I beat them next turn when I got some lombard Beserkers in my army...It was a bloodbath.

Reinforcements should be fine now. You can only control 20 units at once. That´s the way the game is designed and that can´t be modded. If you want more, you have to put them under AI control. AI reinforcements will be delayed if the program thinks your system might have a problem. If you don´t like that feature, you can turn it off.
