Can't make siege engines.

[Decoy]

I start in the early era, but I can't make siege engines. I constructed the buildings I needed to make ballistas, catapults, what have you, but they never become available for recruitment.

Instead, their tab in the recruitment screen is faded out, and it says 6 turns until I can recruit a unit of them. But, it stays on that number. It never drops and as a result, I can never make siege weapons. Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Thanks in advance!

Perhaps you didn't click on the links in the SS6.1 installer that said something like "read here for important information about submods"? I.e. the ones you can select or deselect in that installer.

I read both and it didn't really mention anything pertaining to siege engines. I'm assuming Real Recruitment's the culprit here, but I don't know of a list of what units become available at what time.

This also happens to me when I'm playing late era campaign.

You have Byg's Grim Reality installed and you need to install a patch at the bottom of the first post in the BGR thread in the Submods forum. This has been asked and answered hundreds of times. Please do a search before posting a new thread. You'll get your answer much much quicker that way.
