How to recruit/retrain Marshall of Templars??

[Epic]

Hey everyone,

I have a little problem and searched everywhere but no rock solid answer for it. I have lost my Marshall of Templars unit and have only 25 men left in my Constables of Jerusalem unit. Now I cant figure out how to bring back my Marshalls unit and retrain the constables. I have Jerusalem almost fully upgraded with a Templars Headquarters. So Am I missing something or do I have to recruit them in another city??

Many Thanks in advance

Well according to the campaign script when the unit dies it is suppose auto recruit the unit for you so that there is only one at any given time.

I don't know about Jerusalem, but with Antioch you retrain your unique units at Krak de Chevaliers.

Try to rebuild/retrain in your largest castle.

I've been continuing on my campaign and now all of a sudden I can retrain my Constable unit in any major city. However still no signs of the Marshall unit.

I too have been unable to locate where to Recruit either the Marshal of Templars or the Constable of Jersusalem. I was able to retrain a Marshal unit at Kerak however.

What's more, late in my campaign I turned on Auto-Management to allow the AI to spend my money for me, and within a few turns I noticed that not only had the AI recruited a new Constable of Jerusalem for me... it had recruited several of them, and several Marshal's as well. All of these were recruited at Citadels and not cities.

Does anyone know why this happened? Is it intentional or a bug? And where and how are you supposed to recruit these special units?

[the_mango55]

Seems like a bug. They are supposed to be unique, and you are supposed to only have one of each.

Yes, I did some looking around in the "campaign_script.txt" for the crusades and indeed there are scripts that should prevent you from recruiting more than one of the unit Crusader units. The game is supposed to detect if your unit has been lost and THEN add it to your recruitment roster. However for some reason this does not occur. Furthermore it seems that the AI is able to recruit these units without them appearing in the user interface recruitment roster.

Here is the section of the txt file that deals with the unique units. If anyone here knows how to mod the game maybe they can see what's going wrong with the script.

I noticed the seem thing. I currently am playing the crusades campaign as the Byzantines and have noticed that the Principality of Antioch has no problem having at least 3 units of Marshall of the Hospitallers. They have two in their lands in the west right now and I just killed one in a battle. I could see them all simultaneously too.

This might explain how they completely dominated the Turks in the war that they are fighting. If they could get a unit of Canons of the Holy Sepulcher as well as a unit of Marshall of the Hospitallers in every army the Turks would have almost no chance since they don't have a human controlling them.
