Stacks out of nowhere

[Outlaw]

I wonder if the AI will produce instant stacks out of nowhere? I wish one some level atleast, that they don't. I like to slowly devour my enemy but fighting stack after stack produced right out of thin air, is annoying.

There is an army limit in Rome II. So I doubt it.

unless the royal families of your enemies more than most characters in your average hentai i don't think you will be seeing constant full stacks.

I don't have a link, but a dev said that the AI didn't spawn stacks out of nowhere in Shogun 2, except for the Shogunate, rebels, and pirates if I recall correctly.

in shogun 2 the ai would cheat and upgrade their units between turns (1 turn they would have yari ashigaru and in the next turn katana samurai would have mysteriously taken their place)

I always play with the FOW off, and I don't recall ever seeing an army pop-up out of no where.

They said that but in FOTS at turn 12 I had already been attacked by a 10 unit army half of them build time 2 samurai and a 20 unit one poped up on my border. Both were from the same city...

Tell me how an army can produce 30 units (Half take 2 turns to build) in 12 turn with 1 providence if they don't spawn out of nowhere.

They get a bonus recruitment slot and if its their capital they can produce 3 units per turn and they get upkeep discounts and recruitment discounts.

We won't have to worry about stack spam anymore, mate. Just watch out you don't lose your stack. You won't have many of them early on and why am I under the impression that there is a set amount of turns you have to wait before raising another army back up in it's place when you lose it? I think I heard that somewhere. Like Jack had said, it's all about managing your armies and how many you want defending and attacking. If you lose one, you have to re-route another to it's location.

Well that sounds good. It should force you to think harder about how many units you want to attack with. Early game is crucial.

I think it will very much depend on the difficulty you are playing on. If you choose Legandary, you should know what you signed up for. Personally, playing on normal campaign difficulty, I never ran into this.

Geeze I wonder how CA deals with people who simply spread and post false information. There's been never ever anything except for rebellions that allowed the AI to spawn stacks out of thin air. It has to do with the fact that the AI on higher difficulties have more recruitment slots which allows them to rebuild armies faster and we don't see the armies unless we have scouts in close proximity. And If you've been on this board for some time I kinda question how you miss the whole Army limit thing.

The AI might not spawn stacks out of nowhere, but they spawn money out of nowhere, and they have more recruitment slots. Its basically the same thing. Its the only way the AI can compete with a competent player, AI is simply not advanced enough.
