Cannot Recruit Units (Tier 2)

[Heskey]

Hi folks,

Apparently this has been covered before, but the search function isn't helping me narrow things down... So I apologise for going over this;

When I installed SS 6.0 and the 6.1 patch, I opted to install the Grim Reality (III) submod to add to the realism, but unfortunately, sieging cities for a number of turns began to get annoying when all my troops were starving and their morale was on it's arse.

I ran the 6.1 patch again, and opted to remove Grim Reality (Although it says Grim Reality II?) in the vain hope that my game would be affected, but still compatable.

Well it seemed to work; my game plays fine and there's no more mention of the war council, zeal, or supply lines - Great!

Nope; I built some large barracks before removing the patch, and I've build some since removing the patch, but no matter how many turns pass, all my Sergeant Spearmen, Men-At-Arms, Longbowmen are still 'Available In: X Turns'... :hmmm:

Further to this, palisades hold 2 free upkeep units (correct), but now town walls also only hold 2 free upkeep units instead of 3? Is this always the case or have I screwed up my game?

If so, is there anyway to rectify these two issues? Preferably without starting a new game as it's going so well!

If not, I'll reinstall SS completely but not check to install Grim Reality III (Do you need to remove Grim Reality II when patching if you don't want it at all?)

Thanks for reading, and thanks for your help!

The recruitment problem (as I mentioned in your other thread ) is from Byg's Grim Reality. The version of Byg's mod released with 6.1 needs a patch for that bug to be fixed (apparently some code was left out of the 6.1 installer). But seeing as you already uninstalled byg's mod, did you start a new campaign? Changes like that aren't save-game compatible.

Also if you're running vista, you might have to check the compatibility files that vista stores somewhere as you might still have some residual files that are being used by the game.

The 6.1 patch offers you the options to install BGR III, or remove BGR II - Does this mean Stainless Steel 6.0 comes with BGR II already implemented?

I didn't start a new campaign; I kept playing but the annoying zeal/supplies/recruiting had disappeared, but as a downside, I can't recruit anything above Levies and Peasant Archers now - Can you direct me to the fix that sorts this, and will it be compatable with my current save game; or had I best just start again?

Also, running XP not vista

BGRII is just the supply traits system (if I recall correctly). BGRIII was the next incarnation that includes all the faction zeal, war council features.

The fix would only work if you still had BGRIII installed, which you said you uninstalled. So you're going to have to start a new campaign I'm afraid.
