Retinues not reinforcing

[Federalist girl]

Yeah so my retinues are suddenly not reinforcing, and new ones I buy stay at "1". I am nowhere near the cap, so it has nothing to do with that. I'm not entirely sure what's going on.

The only thing I can think of is that my old emperor died in the middle of a war, and the current ruler is in regency -- could that be it? Do they not reinforce unless you have an adult ruler?

I haven't played patch, but it might be because you're bankrupt.

 

[Federalist girl]

I've got, like, 1000 gold or something and am getting 34 per month, so that's not it either.

I would post as a bug.

What dynasty are you playing?

 

[Federalist girl]

Doukas. I'm in 1166 right now -- I've had no problems for the last 100 years of the game, as retinues worked *just* fine. Suddenly... nada.

 

[KNedergaard]

And you didn't switch of reinforcements by accident?

There is an option to stop paying for retinues to reinforce as well as to reinforce at half-rate. Check the retinue tab and look at the three blue buttons to the right of where it shows the number of retinue soldiers you currently have. If the bottom blue button is selected, that means you aren't paying for reinforcement.

Regency might be it though. Certainly wouldn't surprise me if the personal troops of an Emperor refuse to rally to an infant's command.

I didn't switch it off by accident -- but it DOES seem that reinforcements were turned off after the emperor died. Weird. I turned them back to full strength, and all was good.

I just had the very same thing happen to me. I was just about to trash the save, but when I restarted another game, lo and behold, the retinue reinforce was turned off. For some bizarre reason it was turned off when I made a completely new game. This is definitely a bug and I have reported it, especially when it is persisting between saves - which I can see no reason why it would.
