what does reinforcements arriving mean?

[Treamhis]

in battle i get these messages: new enemies, reinforcements arriving and if i run into somebody on a horse it says horse charged for x damge? does the enemy get this damage or does the horse take this much damage?

If you run someone down with your horse, they take damage and are often knocked over. This is dependent on how fast you are going, and the horse's charge ability. If your horse has a low charge stat, and you aren't moving very fast when you run into an enemy, your horse will stop and rear, giving the enemy the perfect chance to cut that horse out from under you. As for the "new enemies" message, it usually means that a second wave of enemies is spawning. Only a certain number of units can be on the field at once, and when the armies exceed that number, they have to spawn in after the first wave is dead (or most of it anyway). However, i have gotten this message when there were only a few enemy units left, and none could possibly spawn in to begin with...so sometimes it's just kind of bugged i believe. Same goes for "reinforcements arriving", it just refers to your army.

Yep, he pretty much covered it.

When charging with your horse, aim for their shoulder. This way, if you don't hit em headon, your horse doesn't rear. You can get the charge bonus by hitting their shoulder. In addition, if using a slashing weapon, you knock down their guard for that instant.

As for new enemies or reinforcements, it typically takes around 75% casualties in 1 wave for the next to spawn.

Even better is the "Bump and Hit" in order to attack a footman with his shield active.

I get that all the time. Sometimes multiple messages, one after the other before any have faded.

Of course it freaks you out when you are new, thinking that you have to deal with yet another group when you thought you were done. Similarly really annoying when you think you have some reinforcements coming and none do.

Often times i will get, new enemies have arrived. When i know for fact that they're is only one opponent left alive.

Bump and Hit: Charge towards the unit with your weapon raised, charge the unit by one side (still hitting it), and immediately after the bump, release the attack aiming down.

I learnt it by accident.
