Recruitment of Knights

**Siculus** · March 10, 2008, 04:03 PM

I'm playing Sicily. Palermo has a population of 7372 and is 100% Catholic. I've constructed the Knight's Stables along with Forging Shop, Swordsmith's guild, and Blacksmith. But all I can recruit are Sergeants. I've checked the building guide but that's all it shows all the way up the ladder.

How do I get some knights? Did I make an installation error? What am I missing?

Thanks.

read the changelog for 5.4

changed the roleplay building\recruiting requirements
- you need a Governor (any subject any rank) to upgrade and build anything. Nobody in the settlement--> no building possible
- Horses are the most valuable units on the battlefield. A horse belongs to a knight. So if you want to recruit horse units, you have to place a character of the military career into the settlement. If not then you get only the units of the lowest building stables.

So here is the recruitment of horse units:
Anybody --> Stables units
Knights ---> Stables units + new Knight stables units
Banneret --> Knight units + new Baron Stables units
Commander --> Baron units + new Earls_stables units
GrandCross + Character with Crown --> All units
