Really frustrated with enemy spawning

[derin]

I didn't realize it at first, but after my party got a little stronger, battles have become totally unrealistic due to 20 enemies popping up with cocked weapons ready to go. It totally negates the entire goal of realism and any tactical play. How can you employ tactics if 20 new guys appear out of nowhere every couple minutes?

Use the battle sizer, if you don't like how the tactics works works, since a big enough battlesize will negate its effect.
Sieges will be a cluster****, though.

1.- They don't pop up from nowhere. They spawn at the same point where your character does, but at the opposite side of the battlefield.
2.- Stay near your spawning point. If you charge all the battlefield down to the enemy spawning point, odds are that their reinforcements will "pop up" behind or around you. Wait for them to charge into your lines, far from their reinforcements entry point, near yours.
3.- Learn2tactics.

To be fair I do find it frustrating, would be nice if all reinforcements actually ran onto the battlefield from the border. Purely from an aesthetic point of view really, although it mite stop them from spawning ontop of my cavalry charge.
