Ive seen alot of info about Rome 2 but nothing yet about how the reinforcement system will work. Anyone know anything about the changes or if there will be changes?

Haven't really heard much about reinforcements yet :l

I hope they don't make major changes. I liked it very much in NTW and Shogun 2

Did you play Medieval 2 Kingdoms? that was one of the best reinforcement systems so far imo.

NTW's reinforcement system sucked, although Shogun 2 made some nice improvements with FOTS and the patch that followed.

I haven't played much Kingdoms, just some turns with the americas campaign and a couple on the teutonic campaign.

How are reinforcements managed there? and how they are managed in NTW and Shogun 2?

Would like to see the reinforcements like in it was in The kingdoms expansion =)

I hope they start further from the deployment area. Previosuly, anyone could just sit at the edge destroying them as they came on. I never would though...

Yeah NTW's reinforcement system was a disaster IMO. Shogun 2 was moving in the right direction but the main focus should be options. For example you can choose what units in particular you want to enter the battle next from your other stacks. Or if you have 3 or more stacks you should be able to choose which stack you want to enter first. Or even have 2 full stacks enter at the same time like it was in Kingdoms i believe.

I really really hope they focus on this since be can be assured we will have epic battles including many stacks.

I have to agree the ETW and NTW reinforcement system was close to fail. Not quite so bad as a full fail but it was certainly messed up. It is a very interesting question with capture points and possibly much larger battlefields.

If I have understand it correctly, the reinforcement system of Kingdoms is used. Groups of units can be put under the lead of an AI general. This might also contain reinforcements, I presume.

I thought that too, but his last post suggests he did mean the reinforcing forces in a battle.
