    Ive had small units within stacks...but not had them gain strength like outlined above.

    Wonder if this unit being the only unit in the stack was significant. ? Captain, like a leader, gains bodyguards ?

    That can't happen Barbarosa. Simply, if the battle was finished with the unit having less than 8 men, it will be gone, and won't show on the strategic/campaign map.

    Actually I think that is only for routed units, I have had units survive a battle with fewer than eight men left, and not enough wounded men healed to make an eight man unit.

    Erm, it did happen. I didn't imagine it . I have actually seen units with less than 8 men as a result of battles several times - in fact just this morning I fought a battle where a unit of Macedonian Light Lancers started the battle with 5 men and finished with 1 (after the battle the remaining 1 was merged with another unit, although that couldn't happen to the Scutarii I mentioned becuase it was the only unit of its type I had).
    What I have never, ever seen before is such small units inexplicably gaining men.

    Hi

    RTW V1.5 Large Scale (Equites = 54 men)

    Ive been moving around a unit of Equites that have 3 men.

    All alone in their stack of one unit.

    They didnt replenish nor disappear.

    Thats the result I expect. Would not expect replenishment.

    Barbarossa observed the replenishment effect on an initial unit. Wonder if thats got anything to do with it.?
    Regards

    Since cavalry has smaller unit sizes, fewer men is required for a unit to survive from the battlefield to the campaign map. Unit size(larg, small etc.) probably also got something to say.

    Oh well, you seem to be so sure about it. But I just never experienced it. Maybe you can post screenies for us to study them, though.

    I'll see what I can do - I don't have a savegame involving the Scutarii I mentioned, but I'll try to replicate the conditions that led up to it.
