So I'm playing as England in the Late Era campaign. Real recruitment and BGR are enabled. I read, that in order to recruit Longbowmen "heavy mail" event needs to fire up. This should happen between 1200-1215. It's now the year 1257, and the only event I've gotten is the "partial plate".
Is there a fix for this, or should I just start up another campaign with the real recruitment disabled?
P.S. As a bonus, I'd appreciate if anyone is able to let me know if the recruitment orders can be altered by the player. I hate it when in the middle of campaign my king issues an order, that only WC members can conduct offensive actions, and I only have one WC member. Of course I can't get anyone to rise up to WC if I can't perform offensive actions with other characters.
