Odd question about replenishment

[neoiq5719]

I had an army replenishing in one territory and I moved a second army into that territory to replenish it as well but it didnt so I figured it wouldnt happen until next turn and there was plenty of population. Then I transfered units from one to another and all of them were replenishing. How come it doesnt happen separately? Does it depend on a general unit being there before?

[quachandy99]

Oh mate that can be a bugged
I think what you said is why they didn’t replenish even that region have the population
yes… you need to enter that city/town of that region to make the game properly replenished your army in that region that have population

Replenishment can be a bit messy, since it applies to the entire army not 1 unit in the game mechanics.

Is there a quick way to tell what population class a unit needs to be replenished while in an army? I don't always remember what type a unit needs. I looked at the unit card but didn't see it listed. Do you have to go back to where they were recruited originally and check with a general there?

Thanks.

[Dresden]

Not currently. We may add that to the unit description screen in the future.

[AstroCat]

Thanks, I think it would be a nice convenience feature even if it was just in the expanded info when you right click the unit.

[Dresden]

Yeah, there are a lot of things we can do with the new UI screen.

From experience, if your army was in a region that didn't allow it to replenish, like due to artrition, and move it into a region where it should be able to. The tooltip will say that it can't replenish during that turn, but most of the times, it will actually replenish after ending the turn.

Dresden, would it be possible to at least have some preliminary numbers as to how much pop you need for replenishment? Is it a simple formula of having a certain fraction of the original recruitment pop number or more complicated for armies? What do you roughly need to replenish 18-20 unit army?

[Dardo21]

You need atleast 1/3rd of the requirement for each required population class I believe.

[neoiq5719]

But I was asking something different which is how come you cant replenish but if you merge with an army that is replenishing then you can? mind-boggling
Also replenishment should go hand to hand with a loss of rank depending on how many men you replenish per unit.

[Dardo21]

If that other army requires less of a population class that is lacking in numbers, it can replenish, so if 1 army needs class 1 and 2, but the other mostly requires 3 and 4 for example, the 2nd one might be able to replenish more quickly. And yeah the base game already has a mechanic that reduces a unit's veterancy with replenishment.

I can't speak to your exact situation but just wanted to point out that sometimes the UI can be a bit wonky. An army might actually replenish even if it doesn't say it will. Sometimes you have to re-select it for the script to update or something, not sure. Just know that I've had armies that look like they won't replenish, except the troop count has gone up in the next turn.

Replenishment is actually really forgiving right now. The unit basically had to have something like 10% of the required population available. It may show that its not going to replenish, but it may actually replenish between turns.

Yeah, i noticed that the game tends to think it replenishes if it did last turn, and show that it wont replenish next turn (even tho it will) if there was no replenishment last turn.

[Dresden]

I think its because of when effect bundles are applied. Some get removed at the end of a turn and so the replenishment happens between turns.

[neoiq5719]

Also you replenish more within the city walls. It should be the same in or out since it depends on population number, ain´t it?

[Dardo21]

No, it depends on both replenishment % and population number, the replenishment number does decide how much population number is substracted each turn though, so if you have 8 % replenishment it will substract 8 % population for each unit as as required.

[Dresden]

You can get a bonus to replenishment from various sources including being garrisoned, buildings, seasons, etc. All population does is turn it on or off if there isn't enough people.

Not a reply to OP, but to some others here. Sometimes you need to unclick the unit, then click it again to refresh the UI to get updated info. Example, if it's an army that's losing men due to attrition, and you move it into a healthy region, you'll often need to click somewhere else, then click on the army again to display the proper information (that the army is no longer losing units).
