Turkish swordsmith's guild?

**AU4Brent** · February 24, 2009, 08:09 PM

I'm playing a Turkish campaign, and I'm loving it, but I can't get a swordsmith's guild. My castles don't make any swordsmen, so those are a wash. I have spies in the Byzantine and Hungarian castles on my border, and I'm waiting to see if one pops up, but no luck so far. If I demolish a guild house in a large city and start pumping out JHI, will I get one? I don't know if recruiting JHI gives you swordsmith guild points. Anybody know?

Getting a Swordsmiths guild for the Turks is pretty tough. You can try getting a Hashashins guild, building a ton of Hashashins, then demolishing it to see if they offer a Swordsmith.

... Or perhaps you can download a mod which gives the Turks some other form of sword infantry.

Yeah, I think I was using the Retrofit Mod and the Grand Unit Addon for it when I finally was able to build a Swordsmith's Guild for the Turks.

This wont work unless the modder had the foresight to add it to the files related to the guilds I believe.

Are you sure? I was under the impression that the unit just has to qualify as a sword unit to count towards the guild.

Cant you just take an enemy fortress that has the guild?

Chances are he won't even encounter one.

the best way to get a swordsmiths guild as turks is to get to citadel, and then build the armourer series one after the other all the way up to armour factory. you'll immediately be offered the sword guild.

then you'll probably want to turn the place into a city and use it to churn out all your JHI and saracens with upgrades.

Hmmm, I have three citadels with armour factories already in them. If I demolish them, will I lose guild points? If not, I could just build, demolish, build, demolish until I get one.

I've got a spy in there, but since I took Constantinople, and converted most of the population to Islam, that castle got a Knights Hospitaller house instead.

Wow, my next campaign will be Turks and i ll try to get that swordsmiths guild...

you only get points in swordsmith guild for building armorers and hashisim
you can add in export_descr_guild some lines so you get points in it for building janissary heavy inf or haldberd militia
