Long Solo Game Bail Out Problem

[Taqwus]

Order of reinforcements then becomes an issue... and whether to allow individual squads, or only when there's full room for a commander -and- all his squads, and whether they should ever refuse to come in (morale check, battlefield enchantments, et al).

Unless players could determine the ordering, there'd be complaints when scripts and formations no longer made sense. Might be interesting, and there's logic behind it (although there are obvious questions as to whether the reserves should really be immune to Wrathful Skies, Heat from Hell, the opponent's reserves et al while off-screen), but it'd require some UI overhaul.

I agree that reinforcements is a sub-optimal solution, but it's better than having the game bomb. Not that I'm particularly into realism for dom3, but there is a loss of command control as armies get bigger.

I also thought of grouping like troops into super-units or just limiting the number of troops on a side, but the reinforcements seemed like a more workable and equitable solution.

I experienced the same scenario on my super beefy computer... yet fixed the issue by rebooting. It has me believe this is some type of memory leak.
