It's optional for you, not for the AI. So if the AI starts a battle near a stack of yours and your allied to them you get the message, if your stack starts a battle with an allied AI stack nearby, they will join anyway.Just seeing it more often... and don't remember assistance being optional.

Wow I have never seen this before. Exactly how does this happen?
(Note: i play on H/H and usually play Sicily)
Well, if one of your allies is in a battle with its enemy, and you have forces 1 square by, you will get this message, asking if you would like to help your ally in the coming conflict.

I love you all!
Was I mistaken? Never mind, I shall edit. +rep for pointing that out
I love you all!
1 square by? You mean beside your ally's army? Cause i seldom see this since i was get dragged into my ally's battle without a choice as my army was beside theirs.
Baird: "Hey! Stop shooting it, you're pissing it off!"
Cole: "You're telling me what not to shoot in here? Look at this ****!"

Dom: "Marcus, ya ever seen them feed on imulsion?"
Marcus: "Hmph, they can eat **** and die for all I care..."
It'll be interesting to see in the Empire release (which apparently isn't split up into squares) how far the reinforcements zone is.
Hopefully it'll be pretty large... and the largest battles will be like NTW2... after all if the battle lasts for 2 hours then perhaps you could get those quite far away reinforcements after all...
This would make for interesting dynamics and allow for simulations of situations like waterloo.

"There is a difference between what is wrong and what is evil. Evil is committed when clarity is taken away from what is clearly wrong, allowing wrong to be seen as less wrong, excusable, right, or an obligatory commandment of the Lord God Almighty.
Evil is bad sold as good, wrong sold as right, injustice sold as justice. Like the coat of a virus, a thin veil of right can disguise enormous wrong and confer an ability to infect others."
