Janissary Heavy Inf. even before turn 10?

For the hell of it I thought I would make a turkish game and start a Jihad on Constantinople almost right off the bat. It went well and everything, got 12,000 florins from sacking it, but I noticed something..

I could build a Dar al-Imara right away, and what does that give me? Janissary Heavy Inf. It's turn 5 right now and takes 4 turns to make this building. Has anyone done something like this before?

I can just picture how it's going to be this early in the game with Janissary..

Yes. All you need is a city to build a Dar al-Imara. Whenever I play the Turks i start with a jihad on Constantinople which is a small city. JHI are expensive to train but very strong in mêlée. If you upgrade them with armor and with a swordsmith guild you will be unstoppable during mêlée.
To acquire a swordsmith as the Turks build a leather tanner, destroy it and build it. Do this for a lot of turns and you will get a swordsmith guild.

Hmm, it does seem like it will be very unbalanced having them this early in the game. Oh well, I guess this will be fun!

Hmm, I just tried this and I don't see the Jannissary Heavy Infantry anywhere.

I'm playing vanilla MTW2 with patch 1.2

Hmm, there should be an upgrade to the town hall buildings. Maybe when you got it they had not upgraded it far enough?

You can make them once you make the Dar al-Imara.

Ohhh, it's part of that chain of buildings. I see, thanks for the info.

This is good ... but what is best in life?

Hahahahaha, I just renamed Constantinople to Istanbul and I can build Jannissary Heavy Infantry and Jannisary Archers from it.

It's my ultimate elite pumper outer
