night attack?

[fat gaben]

the game says that night attack prevents reiforcements however in fact it doesn;'t !!! why??

i attacked at night and in castle they still recieved their reinforcements...

If you mean the extra units from the settlement, that's because those aren't reinforcements but the garrison supporting the field army occupying the settlement.

If you attack an enemy army in his settlement he will be reinforced as Ratmannf said. But you can catch armies standing outside the settlement. Night-Atttacks are useful as well if you have 2 or more stacks standing together. By choosing night-Attacks you will only have to deal with one stack and not all the other the Bystanders. Make sure to use some items or traits to improve night attacks and you can have a great raiding unit.
