"Reinforcement Wave" alternative?

[[BRE] Salomon]

I must say my #1 immersion killer is fighting a bunch of enemies in the field, and then having 30 more of them spawn right in front of me.  Are there any mods that address this?

 

[Desideratus]

Nope.

Up your battle size and that won't happen.

That's hardly a perfect solution though Mr.X, many people can't play with ridiculous numbers of bots and even if you increase it, at some point you will still face an army large enough to require reinforcements.

I don't know of any mods but I do have some advice, don't attack towards the enemies position. Fight in the centre of the map or at your spawn, the enemy always spawns in the same place so you should know what area to avoid.

ivj, do you have an idea in mind as to how reinforcements should be handled? To me the current system makes sense, since fresh troops would naturally arrive together. If it is just the problem of them spawning close to you, I think Lord Rich has the best advice.

This used to really bother me before I increased the battle size.  If its an option, its worth sacrificing graphics, grass, shadow effects, etc., for a higher number of soldiers on-screen.  The lower your battle size limit is, the more reinforcement waves you're going to get; which absolutely sucks when you've just broken through the enemies' line and ripped them all to shreds, only to have 20 more of them suddenly spawn right on top of you.  This hurts a lot more playing as infantry, if you're cav you can move away from the spawn area in time to avoid being surrounded.

Agreed, it's not great, but I'm pretty sure it's the only solution.

Any idea what specs you need on the computer to have 300 people on field? without any lags?
