Strategus Reinforcement Fail

So its widely known that once someone is attacked, there are only 4 hours to be reinforced.

Last night, we reinforced Rebache with 2000 troops, but to make sure it was working, we checked the battle to see if the reinforcements were working. We were distressed to find out that the battle still showed only 500 against the attackers instead of 3100.

I stopped sending more troops and any gear, and immediately i tried contacting a dev in irc, but the only one who became available was Espu. He expressed that he had no knowledge of strategus, but that i should submit a bug report.


Originally i was going to cut my loses and accept the fact that i was going to lose the village and everything on it. Including the gold that i can't spend on equipment to defend.

However, it seems that my troops did go through in an unknown amount of time later. However, because of the delayed showing of troop reinforcement, and not really knowing if a bug occurred at the time, those troops are not equipped to prevent a heavier loss.

My question is, is there a delayed reinforcement bug? I suspect that like battle registration for AI, things only update on the hour, which may have messed this up. Just wanted a confirmation or not is all.

No bug. The battle list doesnt update until the reinforcment window closes.

Im sorry this happened to you man, the rebellion wants a fair fight.  You actually have 5 hours to reinforce.  The battle window doesnt update troops amounts until that window closes (so 19 hours before the battle).  If you checked the village itself though it should have showed the amount of troops in it and that updates as soon as you send them.  The gold in the village si because the village itself cant buy equipment (unless neutral) and so a player neds to buy equipment and transfer it in.

I would fill you in all the essentials bits of info about strat battles... but our current diplomatic relations make me a little hesitant about giving too much advice right now. You shall have to learn all this the same way we did... through a ton of war experience.

Welcome to the world of strategus battles where nothing is intuitive or works how you'd expect it to.

At least 5 hours.
Reinforcement window closes 19 hours before the battle, as u said. So if there are 35 hours before the battle, then you have 16 hours to reinforce your side.
