I have looked up the smythies and barracks - but not the gvt. buildings - will do that when I am back at home.

They could be recruited from the Mayors Palace.

I'm pretty sure you get it form 2nd highest or highest gov. building.

Thx to ya all

- and yes its the highest tier of gvt. buildings. Whyever that is the case eludes me :hmmm: ( I'd understand an elite defensive force - the mayors bodyguard or so - but this .. )

forlorn hope are ex convict who get a chance to redeem freedom by fighting for it(check their description). Since you'll probably need a high degree of organization to pull something like this of, perhaps like the gladiator units in RTW, you only get them at the high level tier gov buildings.

I thought you got gladiators from the arena buildings in Rome.

Well historically seen the verlorener Haufen ( which should translate as forlorn stack ) where mercenaries that where paid 4x the usual amount and not convicts ( I mean who would put weapons in convicts hands and let 'em run loose ).
