Reinforcements delayed

[sirwill72]

RTW Gold Edition. Every time reinforcements should show up more than 2 or 3 units, they don't, either for me or for the enemy. I am thinking there must be some setting that thinks my dual core machine is not powerful enough to handle the reinforcements. I'm running an Intel core duo @ 2.0 GHz with 4 GB of RAM, Win 7 64-bit, and Geforce 9600M GT. Any ideas?

it is the game its self, does it send you a message ingame, that the reinforcements will not show up?

I just always get the "Reinforcements Delayed" message either for myself or for the enemy. I used to play the game on an older system years ago, with a CD/ROM copy, and that was a very rare event. I seem to remember seeing an old forum thread some years ago on another site that mentioned something about a setting that caused that to happen if the game didn't think the machine could handle multiple armies, but on my old XP machine I routinely had massive battles with four or five full stack armies on the field at once; with this far more capable Win 7 machine it won't do any more than 2 full stacks.

they may have added a piecemeal mod to reinforcements, lol i usually don't have reinforcements, just my main army, and try to keep the enemy from having them as well

This is a easy fix, its a option called UNLIMITED_MEN_ON_BATTLEFIELD:TRUE and it is in your preferences.txt file in the Rome directry.
