No, but it was near the edge of the map.

Approximate battle conditions:

• 800-1000 size party (Player) attacking 200 size (AI)
• Unintended enemy AI reinforcement occurred near edge of map.
• My troops were positioned near (approx. 100m) from edge of map on a sharp terrain feature (a sharp hill), with inf. and archers holding, cavalry on charge and horse archers on follow (i am going around near edge of map attacking)
• The first wave of enemy was defeated (they end up coming up the sharp terrain feature and got charged from side/back from my cavalry, which initiates the reinforcement phase)
• I may have received reinforcements (although they would be coming from far away, in Warband there was a minimap so I cant report on this...)
• My vlandian player kingdom against battania (maybe near the dunglanys 3 city areas....), but also could have been near Ocs hall areas...

Please let me know if this is approximately enough info to reproduce.

How often are you experiencing this issue? Almost all battles with this party size?

I think this battle that I reported is one of the only times it has happened (maybe one other time), among dozens of battles...

i can confirm that even after the reinforcement changes in 1.8.0, occasionally enemy reinforcements still do spawn right behind the player's frontline, however it now happens more rarely than before, which means progress is being made, it just needs a few more tweaks.

We need the map name or atleast the campaign map location of the said battles to check the scene for this issues.
