Is It Possible To "Create" Units?

**jankren** · July 23, 2008, 06:06 AM

I just gained my first castle however I have a big problem in garrisoning it because I just dont have enough good troops to put in it and in my party. I think its ridiculous to put villagers in charge of guarding my beautiful castle.

So what is the solution? I think its unfair that the AI could produce good soldiers almost immediately while I cant.

There's really nothing to do but station the men you have in the castle and (quickly) recruit some more.
Stay in the area of the castle and recruit men, fight battles and station your best troops in the castle while training your low tier troops in the party.

The AI isn't that fast. They usually start out with about 20 men (out of nowhere) and slowly build from there.

Yeah, I suggest putting ALL of your men in the castle, and then run around (you should be too fast for anybody to catch you on your own at first) and recruit villagers. If you have lots of cheddar then recruit mercenaries at Teverns also.

Merc x-bow men and watchmen are nice to buy up also and put in your hizzel.

hire a crapload of recruits and take them to a training camp and spar with them. You can train up some decent footmen or skirmishers in about a day. And yes, if you have the denars, mercenaries in taverns work quite well as a stopgap measure to losing your shiny new castle.

Stick about 50 first-tier units and 15 good units in your castle and it wont get attacked much. Plus, you will pay almost no upkeep.

I usually put my entire army in there and just get fresh recruits with some mercs and build them up. replennishing the castle consatntly and ocasionally drawing elites from the castle for conquest
