Status: offline 		I'm not sure if this is rather an AAR with a very strange random Event or a bug report, but lets have a look…

I started a game with the latest 1.02 release. I exanded my empire a bit, squashing a Hunter Type Minor empire in my northeast, while having Peace with most of the other neighbours. My army was a single Infantry Regular Brigade and the usual bunch of Militia. After capturing the enemy capital at around turn 30, i got a message that another neighbour minor hunter faction had violated my border and declared war. So i strategically moved my main militia army to a supply outpost 4-5 hexes away from the closest border of the new enemy, preparing to repel them. In the next enemy turn Phase... the entire ~60 hex Long border was assaulted by a seemingly endless number of "Shadow Milita Regiments", Irregular Motorised Regiments. I counted at least 60 Regiments advancing in a Broad front toward me, with ~20 surrounding my preparing forcews in the first round, and then proceeding to obliterate them in the next 2-3 turns while i tried to retreat - and then I stopped the onslaught literally 1 hex away from my capital thanks to newly recruited 2 infantry/MG/Arty Brigades and some indep Light Tank/AT Gun Batallions. I am slowly pushing them back. It is gruesome. My supplies dont last at all. There must be thousands of burnt out enemy trucks Littering the plains north of my capital. Now that I got Spy visual I see the full extent: the enemy has at least 100 Regiments of These mechanized Regiments. I cant upload my screenshot as it is too large, but the enemy has a 105th Regiment in front of my defense line.
Is this a Freak bug? how can the hunter class minor even support such an amount of troops? Or a WAD with a very Special ability the enemy Nation has? It feels like the onslaught of the golden Horde or something like this...

If you've got offered the opportunity to buy slaves but declined they target you next (it's sort of an early warning).

They do not have a capital and their army is basically what they have. Think Mad Max roving gang.
I really like the flavor it provides. Currently also fighting off a horde of them :)

Status: offline 		No, thats not it - I already encountered one of those. The current enemy is quite alot more powerful than this. I read in the Posts of other that Major empire enemies can field similar enourmous armies - Maybe its a slightly overblown AI help - my empire sure wouldnt be able to support or even raise 100 Regiments in 30 turns.

Status: offline 		Thats indeed it. Turn 23, mysterious froces join the enemy. then in 24 until 32 he gets 10 instances of Mercenaries join X every turn. 33 he daclares war. Those Events were not really clearly visible to me. Would have declaring on him earlier have stopped that Flood of mercenaries? I'm sending the save anyways just in case. Seems a bit over the top to me.

Status: offline 		I would not mind the total number so much. They are raiders, so Militiay quality. But that it is a 105 small units, I would mind very much!
The total number of distinct units you can field is more imporant then the number of troops you are fielding.

I take 3-4 Brigades over 1 corp every day, as the corp can only be in 5 places at onces - the bigrades in 20.

Status: offline 		Has been confirmed and is fixed in the next Open Beta.
Its quite rare as it would only happen with said event (and the rebel on but in your favor) if it hits one of the last regimes in the list.
I hope tomorrow, otherwise saturday the latest.

Best wishes,
Vic
