unit recruitement problem

**osteles** · July 28, 2009, 05:40 PM

Hello

First of all, great mod; been using it since 1.0 came out.

However with the 2.0 (and 2.2 version) I have a problem concerning recruitment.

When I'm playing and want to recruit my native units, I can only recruit archers and cavalry from my castles, foot infantry can be recruited from my city's.

Is this normal?

In 1.0, all types of units could be recruited from castles, whilst in cities only limited recruitment was possible, no?

Cheers

What faction are you playing?
Infantry is available in both, cities and castles, if there are proper buildings (barracks or city watch) there. Check in your building browser what units are recruitable on what building-level. Lowest tier buildings mainly don't allow you to recruit anything, you have to build next level.

I'm playing as the Byzantines.
Yes, normally infantry is availalbe in both, but professional infantry, like saphatoi (or how they are called, the swordsmen) should only be available in a fort, not in a city, no?
In forts I cant recruit any infantry for some reason.

New BC recruitment consists in fielding defensive troops (like spearmen or pikemen) in cities and 'assault' infantry in castles. As I've said, lowest tier buildings mainly don't allow you to recruit anything, you have to build next level. F.e. in Nicea you can't recruit anything until you build Drill Sqaure (which is tier #3), but in Trebizon you have access to some militia from the beginning, but again - if you want to recruit professionals, you have to build Drill Square.
That's how it is, there is no problem with your BC.

Well, just like osteles said, great mod. I play it all the time, but I have one issue (and this may be something I missed while reading 2.0's thread). I am the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and I can only recruit units like Vishap Warriors and ahdath militia, basically all the native units, and yet I cannot recruit any of my own units. No seargants, no knights, and no turcopoles and no archers. I have tried every other faction and I can still only recruit native units. Could you please help?
