Reinforcements not showing

Thu Sep 20, 2012 12:05 am

I am playing the Spartacus scenerio as Rome, and I keep having reinforcements come into play, but I never see reinforcements in the ledger. Am I not supposed to see what, where and when a reinforcement is coming?
Thanks

Could you post a screenshot with the line in messaga log where it says that reinforcements come into play ?

Could you provide ScriptReports (AJE/Scripts) ?


Thank you

Sorry, I wouldn't know how to do that. But I'll try to explain. For example, Playing Romans in spartacus scenerio (the only one I've tried). On turn 10, Consul Publicola, Quintas Arrias and two legions show up in Rome. Yes the message log tells me they are there, but I had no idea they were coming. F3 (reinforcement ledger) did not say anything on previous turns about them coming in. In other words, is there a way to see what troops are coming? I would have done the turn differently had I known they were arriving. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Thanks

I think vonRocko may be referring to the 'scripted' reinforcements not showing up under the 'units being built' tab in the ledger - afaik this is WAD - there is no place to easily see what units you will be given via events.

Understood.

There is no way now to make a prewarning that some reinforcements will come into x turns.
That would mean to script thousands of Prewarning events, they should be reseted when main event conditions are not met anymore and reacivated when main event conditions are met again and so on.

The way we handle this is to make. sometimes, appears the reinforcement locked, let's say 2 turns, to let the player modify his plans.

I'm sorry if the answer does not meet your expectations.

Ok, I see. It's not really a problem, I was just wondering if I'm missing something.
Thanks again.

to answer that question: only those units that you actually build - via the build mode (little statue on the bottom left of the screen).
