Is there ANY Reinforcement chart(s) available in this game?

Each scenario is a bit different but broadly you raise new units in one of three ways:

a) scripted reinforcements
b) unlocking fixed or neutral units
c) raising units by expending resources (this mostly only applies to artillery or supply)

In some scenarios its pretty linear but for eg in the French and Indian wars scenario (prob the best in the game in my opinion) it is complex and worth paying close attention to the in-game tool-tips. Also sometimes factions switch sides. Some of the smaller (or earlier) scenarios have no reinforcements.

Scripted reinforcements, as such, I think you need to have a look at the scn files.

This AAR on the French and Indian wars may give you a good grasp of both the process and wider game play

more generally, for this (and your PoN question), you are more likely to get an answer on the AGEOD forum as that is more likely to catch the attention of some of the original player base

yes loki, thanx for a reply. I ask about the SCRIPTED reinf. No way to see a year or so in advance for any new stuff. But no.
As the article you dircted me to shows...check beginning of turn for EVENTS. Years back I looked into this via AGEOD forums. DEEP within the Game Folder there were some "scripts" witch I couldn't understand, nor know how to open to read.
AHH! surprises. I mentioned in a previous post about this, in that I'd break out the old paper reinf. chart from Avalon Hill's 1776! not!!

you can open and manipulate all the scenario and event files in all the AGEOD games, just use a simple text editor (not word as that sometimes adds extra lines etc).

simply link the suffic .scn to the text editor and add other suffixes if you need to open those files - but the scenario ones are the main ones for the info you want,

The syntax is easy enough to follow

The AGE-Wiki covers how to interpret if its not immediately clear

but - as above, I'd suggest post in the old AGEOD forum, much more likely to get an answer than here (I suspect)

thanks for the useful links !!!

What's up with the April 24, 2025 update? Very surprised to see an update for this great game. What's new/fixed? Very nice to see any development all. Any chance that maybe someone is planning to take this game to the next level [along with Civil War]?
