How to recruit christian guard?

[herbsman]

Hello for start I would like to say that I really like this fine mod. I am enjoying The lon road a lot.

I have one question: Playing as Moors I dont know how to recruit Christian guard and dismounted Christian guard. What buildings do I need in order to be able to recruit them? I was searching through ingame building browser but I haven't found it.

Doe's anyone know? Thanks!

They are dependant on an event and won't appear in the browser before that event. The event is probably some kind of plate-mail invention. Check the export_descr_buildings.txt file in the /data directory to be sure.

This is similar to not getting crossbow and urban militia until the chain mail event.

Christian guard do not appear until heavy armour is invented [event] though take it from me as veteran muslim warrior, if you are skilled there are so much more cheap units who will do the trick and you can do without recruit those infidels

Ok thanks for your replies quys!

I would like to ask another qustion - that just crossed my mind - Is it possible to capture family member/general in battle? It never happened to me so far - I was only lucky enough to capture couple of bodyguards.

Usually, those that fall in battle dies, and those you "kill" while they are routing, gets captured.

When you do capture a named general - he'll be at the top of the list in the prisoner screen after the fight. Its fairly rare that this happens, as they usually die much earlier on in the fight. He's usually worth a significant amount of cash.. but its always more fun to execute him!
