Can't recruit Eriador units

**Vindahl** · August 15, 2009, 09:23 AM

Hi!
I have this issue, playing as Eriador, and soon reaching turn 100...
I have built out most of my castles and cities, but I can't seem to being able to recruit either Greenway Guard nor Dúnedain archers...
Do somebody know why?
Thanks...

You need to get the advanced barracks before you can train the advanced troops. By turn 100 you should have had two notices about being able to train better troops.

If not then there is something wrong and you may have to reinstall.

I would wait to get a second opinion on this if you decide to reinstall as I am no expert

If you still haven't got the events then you must reinstall the entire M2TW.

Aren't there some files a manually can change, instead of reinstalling the entire M2TW?
I think I have found out that the event that triggers the chance of recruiting better units is called large_city_barracks 1

But it seems that all units are created under this so-called event_counter...
I tried looking for that line in event_titles and the event_strings, but can't find anything near it...
I noticed that the Dunedains recruire "hidden ressource dunedain" What is that about?
There shouldt be anything standing in my way to get these units, I cant find anything about other events that holds these back...
Surely, there must be place where a file manages the case of getting better units...?

I have solved the issue myself....
Thanks to a post of Axnsan, who described a solution to remove the event completly...
To those who have the same problem, here is what you must do...

So, instead, go to descr_events.txt and DELETE everything in it, save and close.
Then go to export_descr_buildings and press CTRL+H, in the "Find what" field type " and event_counter large_city_barracks 1", leave the "Replace with" field blank and press "Replace all"
Repeat the same process, but this time with " and event_counter huge_city_barracks 1"
( don't forget the space before "and" in both cases )
Save and close.

But if you want to have a vannila TATW you have to reinstall everything.

This sounds like 1.1, you do know all you had to do is go into export_descr_buildings.txt and go down to the recruit tables and delete the entries for the large and huge barrack requirements?
