Question about rebel armies

[Lord Condormanius]

Does anyone know if it is possible to restrict certain types of units that rebel armies can spawn to be limited to within a certain range of years, such as can be done with mercenary recruitment?

Yes, take a look at the vanilla descr_mercenaries file. I would imagine you can use both start_year and end_year on the same line, but if not then tie it to an event_counter.

	unit Welsh Longbowmen Mercs	exp 0 cost 810 replenish 0.04 - 0.13 max 2 initial 0 start_year 1300
	unit Welsh Spearmen Mercs	exp 0 cost 470 replenish 0.06 - 0.18 max 3 initial 2 end_year 1450

EDIT:I found one with both entries:

unit Free Company Men at Arms exp 0 cost 710 replenish 0.02 - 0.07 max 1 initial 0 start_year 1338 end_year 1470

EDIT 2: I read that wrong the first time I think lol

I think they cant be spawned by rebel armies if the owning faction cannot recruit them. For instance they will never spawn a gunpowder unit until the gunpowder event fires. If you set restrictions on the regular factions ability to recruit a unit, the rebels shouldnt be able to spawn it either.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. I keep getting rebel armies spawning with armored swordsmen and English knights within the first 15-20 turns. Those units should not be able to be recruited until after a specific event.

Rebel factions don't recruit mercenaries. What you are looking for is data\descr_rebel_factions. Not sure though if it will accept restriction like you were looking for.

Actually, rebel generals will recruit mercenaries...but that wasn't what I was asking.

I already know the file. I am only asking if there is a way to restrict spawning.

Thanks, anyway.
