These turkish infantry have got to be the best in the game, based on the stats shown on the customs battles Turkish unit roster. Does anyone know how to recruit them??

Also can someone tell me how to find the file with all the unit names??

About your second question: all data files are packed and can't be accessed, unlike R:TW. Most modding will have to wait until CA releases a way to unpack them.

Hashashim are avaliable to all Islamic factions through the Hashashim's Guild

I'm not sure about that? Weren't they able to edit it with the demo?

The campaign folder, containing descr_strat.txt, descr_events.txt etc., is not packed, and hence can be modded. The map folder, with descr_regions.txt etc, too. But the big data folder with descr_units and all the other important files is packed, from what I read in other threads here. :no:

and how and when can you get this guild?

For some reason, that's all the guild offers i get, i allready have three of them throughout iberia. I would much rather have swordsmiths.

You will get offered that guild if you produce lots of assassins.

Build several swordwielding units from one city/castle exclusively within 10 turns. You'll get an offer, I promise.

Same goes for assassins, when you want a guild that is offered from (primarily) producing specific units, just focus on training those units from one city to get an offer (also make sure no other guilds are present in said settlement).

This allows you to pick and choose what settlement can specialize in what via guilds.

If i'm not wrong, you can start training them when you complete the highest level of diplomatic centre(the building to train diplomats).

You are wrong. The only way to get them (in vanilla) is through the Hashishim's guild. And you only get that by training and using assassins as well as constructing the inns line of buildings (which recruit assassins). I also felt the need to point out that all Muslim factions get access to them, but the Egyptians and Turks are the ones most obviously in need of some crack infantry.

I think it came down to legal crap, that is CA was all for doing it but Sega put the kabosh on it.
