Confusion about Battle Size Limit

[MoldyDragon]

Hey guys, first off, this game is ridiculously amazing and I literally can't believe I didn't discover it until now. It's the perfect game and have probably put about 40 hours in less than a week.

I'm just a little confused about the battle size limit. I read some posts that it was increased from 100, and this does seem to be the case in custom battles. However, I cant bring up the tactical menu in custom battles so I can't confirm this. However, in the campaign it is definitely still hard capped at 100 total for both sides. Am I missing something in the options or was the update only for custom battles?

Sorry if this has been asked a lot! I searched and searched and could not find an answer which addresses specifically the campaign that had been answered, only this unanswered one haha! https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,361857.0.html.

Thanks in advance guys!

Just to update, I noticed in sieges I can get 58 v 51 pretty consistently, is this the new max? I'm just trying to make sure I understand the calculations correctly.

I'm pretty certain that they never increased the battle limit on console. You probably saw something pertaining to the Pc version.

They claim they did in the 1.02 patch notes, but I'm thinking this may actually mean more reinforcements as opposed to more soldiers on screen at once. It's just confusing because the limit can go above 100, it just seems arbitrary and random. Do certain sieges have pre-placed archers which add to this number?
