Enemy reinforcements don't always show up on pre-battle panel

[Migz - DH]

Enemy reinforcements usually appear on the pre-battle panel, but they sometimes don't for me in the vanilla game. In those situations, they just spawn during the battle without warning. Maybe it's just quest monsters where this happens? Is it this way for everyone or only for me?

On a related note, in those situations, the reinforcements numbers at the bottom don't take them into account either. It'll say something like "3 (0)" then 2 new units spawn. Even during the battle, the counter at the bottom doesn't show them as present.

As you can see in this screenshot, there are four enemy units, but with the ogre-types appearing mid-battle, the counter only shows "2 (0)" instead of "4 (0)".

Edit: Oh, and if I don't defeat the reinforcing units before the timer runs out, and I do defeat the original ones, I get a victory screen saying I defeated all of the units instead of a draw.

it happened to me once vs a normal unit. I checked the range and no one else was in range, attacked and the pre battle screen showed 2 enemy units and then when i go to do the combat im vs 6.

immediate rage quit.

Ah, good, so it wasn't just my imagination where I thought it'd also happened against a non-quest set of units at least once.

It's been happening a lot recently. I play with all DLCs(since you mentioned Vanilla). Especially when you get the quests to kill x number of ruin guardians then search ruins for treasure. I engage with a stack of 3, but just before the pre-battle pops out, I see the "crossed swords" attack markers on all the other guardians, I end up fighting all of the guardians. But I don't know if they come 6 and then 3, or 3 3 3. I always auto-resolve.

Are they units with Stealth or Camouflage? It's an ambush. Hidden units don't show up in the reinforcement pane.

The vanilla game doesn't have stealth units.

Oh, pardon me, I didn't look closely enough. In other news, I never even realized there was that 2(0) thing before, thanks for pointing it out. Interesting bug.

I've had it happen with the second mouse quest mobs.

Ya, that was the quest I took the screenshot of.

I got another "Second Mouse" quest, and I took screenshots of the situation:

I've had a different, but similar case. On that one global competition for one of the T2 resources, those tekite armies will not show in reenforcements, but will spawn into it. End of the mission though, they did pop in to the finish screen. If I hadn't been Drakkens, I'd have lost everyone I had, as is I managed to make it only losing 1 of the 3 people in a 3 v 15 or so
