Defending with reinforcement doesn't work

[Childish Child]

So, I have 3 army standing right next to each other but when attacked I can only defend with one army and the enemy can indeed bring reinforcement but why not me? After retreating it just keep picking it on one by one until all got into a separate ways. Is this a bug?

It happens to me too, maybe it's a bug

Are the enemies using Night Battle?

I'm not so sure but when it attacked it's still bright (I think). Still it doesn't make any sense cuz all of my 3 armies are together like a sandwich they literally can ♥♥♥♥ each other if they wanted to

Are they on forced march?

[Ivarr Bashington]

Hmmm then it’s not night battle. The night battles are dark and have little paper lanterns floating around.

Maybe it’s your armies stances? Are they in standard stance?

Can't reinforce night battles. No matter how clusterf****ed your armies are.

Yea, I was gonna attack them at first but for some reason my attacking army is 0.1 mm out of range from my other 2 army so I canceled it.

There's no bug with reinforcing far as i can see.

They have to be in range of whom ever is being attacked and night battles prevent reinforcements, well as being ambushed prevents reinforcements.

You can use forced march to come and reinforce your other armies, iv done it.

I’d verify it’s not a night battle 1st. It should show up as a ticked box when when you have the pop up that says fight or retreat or delegate, etc.

Then I’d check to see if the armies are all in standard stance as I don’t know if 3k allows you to reinforce from all stances.

Finally, there is a box in many TW games that can be checked that says something like “fight large battle” or “fight large army” or something that lets you control reinforcements. Not sure if that has any effect in 3Ks

Finally, could just be a bug >.<

Well that rules out the stance issue. Thanks!

It’s not an ambush is it? If you are new to TW, when you deploy, you will be auto deployed in a long thin column. However, you said he’s attacking you. The only faction that can do “offensive ambushes” is the Zheng Yan bandit guy.

I erm... actually take a few of his city like only 5 of hes so he came and launch an counter attack so yea....
btw so when you get attacked is there a way to control other army to come and help?
edit: the character is Sun something

If your army is ambushed then you can’t have reinforcements.

In a normal fight when reinforcements are available, they will automatically come into battle a few seconds after the fight starts. You can control all of them if they are your troops. If they are allied factions’ armies, you can’t control them.

But when attacked I don't see my army profile picture pop up next to my bottom left screen. So it will automatically joins if I start defending on my own? I always use delegate cuz I think its the same result anyway

some time reinforcement will take time to join the battle,and not instantly deployed like other total war
so you have to hold out until your reinforcement come,i experience this on defensive and ambush battle(im the one ambushing)
usually there is a timer on the edge of the map where you reinforcement will come
