missing units bug?

**Cromagnon2** · April 18, 2008, 12:23 PM

While playing my campaign just encountered some units that seem missing for the Kipchak, the kontaratoi pikemen and the spatharoi guard see screenshots.
I don't know if this is a known bug or a my corrupt installation. So far the only glitch in this otherwise quality mod

I tried a search but find nothing on the subject.

Yes, I have patch 1.05 installed.

It seems to me those are Byzantine units, maybe the Kypchak bribed them and took Constantinople that way.

Have you modded BC in any way?

If problems like this are persisting, you might want to reinstall BC and make sure you have all the fixes because i dont believe its a widespread problem (i.e. other people using the Kyppies are not experiencing them). But i could be wrong.

It would be wiser to CHOOSE not to recruit ERE units while playing with the Kypchaks.
Maybe i am wrong, but when you do that, the game engine starts looking for texture files, unit cards, unit info cards in the Kypchak's folders, but since the units are ERE (and their data is inside the ERE folders), they will appear with problems.
I checked the needed files for ere_elite_spearmen (the Spatharioi) and they are ok (unit card, unit info card, textures, 3d meshes, export_descr_unit, modelDB), probably as long as you play them with ERE; they are also fully 'operational' for the rebel factions. (the Slaves)

he probably didn't recruit them willingly, but they came in because of the garrison script!

Yes, this can be the case.

To be clear, I am not playing the Kypchacks but the AI is.
Those silversurfers appeared after the kypchaks conquered Constantinople. In a few turns I will also be at the gates of Constantinople a see if they get them as garrison.
