Ok Great.. i knew it was possible.. but where is that "Somebody" ":P

And i used to be in the preferences file.. but it's gone

I think it was someone at twcenter, but their forums seem to be down at the moment.

It as something like unlimited_men_on_battlefield = true/false.

lol . Something like that, I didn't really pay that much attention to it as I haven't encountered this problem yet. Come to think of it maybe I should fix it before I get that message, as it would be annoying mid-battle.

yea it is that command only in Rome it used to be in the preferencexs.cfg but now that line is gone.. and no where to be found.. so that blows.

At work at the moment. but might have to pay this some attention, and look into it when I get home.

What i actually mean is why my reinforcement are being delayed and how you change this

In RTW, most of the time you got the "reinforcements delayed" message was because you had a full stack army as the main force and elected not to place the reinforcements under AI control. The game only allows you to have 20 units under your control at a time, so if you have a full 20 unit army, the reinforcements will stay off map until one of your units is destroyed/withdraws/routs off the board, at which point one randomly determined unit from the reinforcements will move on to replace it.

Is that the situation you're having? If so, place the supporting armies under AI control.

No they are under AI Control.
