number of enemy units random calculated?

[Nachtwesen]

HI there. First of all I need to say two thing..
(If you want to go straight away to my question.. go to bold topic "my question)

1. My english is not so good.. so sorry for my grammar and so
2. Its pretty fun to play V2.. but..

I ask my self how is the number of enemy units calculated?

I play with my hometown Lübeck and all seems pretty good right now. I did create a lot of alliances.. some minors and one major helps me a lot. So I was able to take whole Schleswig Holstein and some parts of the agressor denmark.

Hell yea.. fun.. Lübeck has now a chance to stay alive and my economy is doing pretty well.. (sure not compared to a powercountry)

But Lübecks future seems to be good.. the country is bloom!

My Question and the problem...

Because Modenna didnt had any alliancen and compared to my army it is a small country.. I wanted to save Lübecks interessts near the Mediterranean Sea.

I had success and Modenna is now part of Lübeck.

Round about 2 years laters Venedig tryed to attack my Modennapart. First they came with 30 Units and I had luck coz I had based there 38 Units for later purpose (take another little country there).

So i´ve won a few battled agains Venedig.. But even and even there came up new venedig stacks.. again 30.. later 40th stacks and so on...

I thought "WTF???".. I was unsure if this is realistic and did login to venedig.. just because I wanted to know some stats about them and how they are able to get so much military supply of units..

I notices they really wouldnt be able to hold so much units... every stats did tell me that this cant be true..

So my suspicion is that the ai is cheating and just random generate any unit stacks to survive in a battle.. and this in shortest time.. I am wrong?

If i would now goin on playing with venedig.. I would´t be able to build more then 10 units.. they didnt have any kind of chance to expand there military.. but the ai can do it? how going on?

Any professional V-gamers here who can explain me this?

Its not fun to know that a neighboor country can beat me just because they generate random numbers of military units even if there economy and bev´s couldnt afford this..

I would be happy about every clarification of fact. Im pretty new to games like victoria.

For me it just seems that the ai can build more military in shortes time then the stats for human player would allow.

End of story..

Indeed I would lose modenna.. indeed there are spawning round about 40 units of venedig in just 2 days..



EDIT:

Just because test reasons.. not cheat reasons..

Just because test reasons I did delete a 40th stack of venedig units.. and did login back to lübeck.. round abour 3 days laters theay had now again a stack of 30 units..

Whats going on there?

Did they mobilize their militia?
EDIT- Number on military button at top shows how many brigades you can get when you mobilize your militia/reserves.

 

[Nachtwesen]

Did they mobilize their militia?

Yes they did..

Could it be that I am at war with a huge military compared to lübeck?.. DO they get a great army by mobilizing now? Og my god Im dead!

 

[Snall]

Yeah, apparently some military techs help get a bigger reserve to mobilize. I have yet to get to it though sine im still trying to civilize as a small SE Asian power.

EDIT- Check yours maybe you can mobilize a nice bit of units as well.

Ok sounds like a nice idea. Hope I can do this too. Otherwise I will lose my place under the sun.. and this one did bring my country to place 16 in the world.. economy is bloom. I need to defend it.

I will try what you said. Hope can mobilize too. I check that out now.

How large is Venice in your game? Which states does it control?

At the start of the game Venice is part of Austria and not something you can declare war on (well, you can declare war on Austria, but I assume that when you say Venice, you mean Venice).

Ok here are coming some facts of my game:

Facts:

Venice is controlling:
Gorizia, Uldine, Venedig, Treviso, Padua, Verona (6 Provinces)

My Lübeck is just controllin massa and Modenna which needs to be defend.

I cant mobilite.. it is gray... I only could bring round about 20- 30 more units there per transport which would mean that North Germany would be poor or not defended.

It seems so that i need a exit strategy.. I defenetly will lose the area in the south until i ship more units there...

EDIT:

Venice is just under influence of russia.. they dont have any allys.. no partner.. nothing..

They are at war with me (lübeck).. and my allys: Prussia, Bremen, Sachsen Coburg, Frankfurt Main, Mecklenburg and Oldenburg

Venice did declare war on me round about 2 years after I did take Modenna.

 

[Nachtwesen]

Ok guys.. problem solved.. I did notice that the roots of this war came from prussia and venice..

I did try something. Moving all my troops back to Modenna to defend this bastion.. lucky I am venice didnt want to arrive on my homeland..

Thought i could make peace with venice.. but only prussia was able.. so i just waited some time.. laters then prussia did sighn a peace.. all is ok now.

Lucky I am.

Also if you have an ok general your 29 stack should be able to beat that 39 stack since it's already red (low morale, etc).
