Unit recruiting limits

Hi all. Just wondering is it possible to put limits on how many of a particular unit a faction can recruit (like the limit on agent recruitment)? Thanks in advance

No i dont think it is posible for units. It is possible for agents
there is a agent_limit that can be used for agents only.
I saw that in kingdoms they limit some special units. Probably they introduced some similar limitations for units as well.
You should look into the export_buildings file. Maybe you find something interesting.

Hmmm...are there any more unique units than the Knight order Marshalls?

**Tiberiu_R** · September 07, 2007, 07:02 AM

Yes they are. If you play Crussades with Antioch there are 2 unique units!

Thanks I'll check them out also. Cant for the life of me work out how they've been made to be unique though

edit: just found out where. It's in the campaign script

In order to get round being unable to limit troop levels I use really long replenishment rates on the recruitment
for example

recruit_pool "New World Bodyguard" 1 0.05 1 1 requires factions { hre, portugal, }

so u can only recruit one unit per settlement every 20 years

hope this helps

But it would be cooler if you can only recruit some unit when the one on the field dies.
I also suggest looking into the Kingdoms files, there were some nice things added to mod.

Yeah I've been looking through the Crusades campaign script and I understand how it makes the unique units unique...except that it doesn't work. I dont think CA tested it very well. Every now and again you get two of the unique units in the recruit pool, and you can build both. Plus the AI apparently can recruit them at will.
