Hi

Did you have a big battle anyway, with two stacks, and on huge scale?

I ask as most times ive had reinforcement delays is when the computer is delaying arrival because it believes to many troops will hurt performance.

It allows them on when you have nearly won because having killed the enemy there is now 'room' on the battlefield for some more to arrive.

You have to go into your preferance file (i believe) and change the "unlimited_men_on_field" from false to true and then save it to allow it to ignore the pc limits. I know my pc complains about too many men at about 6400 but i have fought 12000 men with same preformance as 6400.

Well atleast thats what i think you have to do lol

You can only command 20 units, because that is all the unit cards that will fit in the UI. So if you start a battle with two or more armies, and have a combined total of over 20 units, the extra units will not enter the battle unless some of your original units leave. In that case enough reinforcements will enter to bring it up to 20 again.

The only way to get more is to let the AI control the reinforcements. Then they will all come in. I would not recommend that however, especially if the reinforcing army has a general you want to keep alive.

I think he might mean when you get the notice "Reinforcements delayed!"

Of course that affects enemy troops too, and I love it when they're late to a battle or don't arrive at all.

I saw it once and it was for my enemy's reinforcements, and I was like crap! since the main attack force was to break a siege I had so if reinforcements didn't come up I'd need to wait to take the city. Luckily they showed up though, and I crushed them and won the city.
