Are floating point numbers allowed(not whole numbers e.g. 0.5) ?

I'm trying to work out some reinforcements and can't see how to do some without giving a non-whole number for a divisor
unless I define identical reinforcements.

What reinforcement scheme are you trying to implement? Perhaps someone will have a way around that you have not thought of.

It doesn't answer my question, though.

I am just playing with some numbers here - for example how to give +3 troops for every 5 territories held period.

I can think of one way but it's not pretty hence the question.

If i have understand exactly what you mean, i think that the easier way is not to think to them as normal reinforcements, but like a sort of "hidden" bonuses/continents.

e.g.
Total Regions: 18

Code: Select all

<continent>
   <name>5 regions</name>
   <bonus>3</bonus>
   <components>
      <territory>region 1</territory>
      <territory>region 2</territory>
      ...
      <territory>region 18</territory>
   </components>
   <required>5</required>
</continent>
<continent>
   <name>10 regions</name>
   <bonus>6</bonus>
   <components>
      <territory>region 1</territory>
      <territory>region 2</territory>
      ...
      <territory>region 18</territory>
   </components>
   <required>10</required>
   <overrides>
      <override>5 regions</override>
   </overrides>
</continent>
<continent>
   <name>15 regions</name>
   <bonus>9</bonus>
   <components>
      <territory>region 1</territory>
      <territory>region 2</territory>
      ...
      <territory>region 18</territory>
   </components>
   <required>15</required>
   <overrides>
      <override>5 regions</override>
      <override>10 regions</override>
   </overrides>
</continent>

It's easier than "playing" with reinforcement tags specially because i don't think you can use a non-whole number
