Campaign map building browser & building info screens - why don't they display what building level is needed to obtain certain Cav units?

The pic below shows the problem.

So after reviewing the units available to different factions, I decided to play a GC game as Russia. Now, 26 years into my campaign, I'm looking for some of the Cavalry units that I saw in the stand alone battle screens - and none of the building browser info (which shows what units you can recruit from a given building) tells me which buildings will recruit Cossack Ataman cavalry (for instance).

In fact, it almost looks as if it's a complete carbon copy of the units available to the UK.

Any idea why I cannot see the Atamans or Riflemen available?

[Gornard]

Are they not region specific?

[DyerWolf]

Hm. Don't know. But the building browser I have up is the one for Moscow - so I'd assume the Cossacks would be available there.

Also if you look there's no mention of the Rifleman unit (available to the Russians) even though I've selected the Army Staff College.

Usually it should show that the Rifleman is an available unit to recruit from the building, but be circled in red to show I don't have the necessary tech advance...

did you take a look at the tech tree? maybe you'll find something.

arent such things suposed to be found in an manual.

I dont think they are available from Moscow. If i recall, they are available from Kiev (or whatever the name is of your other full starter town down left of Moscow).

[PlacidDragon]

Also, Riflemen are listed under "Army Board", not "Army Staff College". I dont know if thats a miss by CA or intended. Just to check another faction and see if its the same there i guess.

Check out Ukraine, You can recruit cossacks from there. And yes, all of those units are region specific.

[DyerWolf]

Well, here's Ukraine's Army Staff College with no Cossaks. The Rifleman shows up (with the red circle) - but no cossaks.

I also did a region by region search & never saw Cossaks.




(... and no, they're not hiding under the Rifleman pop up...)

In the patch pack they list 2 cossack cav. and 1 infantry the Ataman has a limit of 2 the other 2 unlimited and all 3 say Russian_Home_Region.

IOW they should show up in MockBa.

[DyerWolf]

Is it possible those units are recruitable from the capitol / government buildings?

Anyone played Russia that's seen those units & can confirm / deny?
