Mailed knigts

**tium** · December 28, 2009, 03:44 PM

In one of my campaings, I got to recruit some mailed knigts, got 4 chevrons and sent them back to the castle, but I've been whaiting for over 30 turs to be able to retrain them and the castle is stafed whith my king, so why does the "count to next unit available" stays at 9 turns?

Important: If you want to use the Real Recruitment (BYG mod) included in the 6.1 patch / if you installed BGRIII using the Stainless Steel 6.1 installer be sure to apply the fix before starting a new campaign
Go here and read the troubleshooter.

I'm not sure if this is the problem but it sure as hell looks a lot like it. I think i see this question asked nearly everyday on these forums, I tihnk people must haven given up reading.

Kind Regards
Will

That's the problem I'd imagine. As No Mercy says, it comes up a very often. Be very careful to read all the install info, that way you won't miss anything important.

OK, downloaded the fix, hope that it will work

Not sure it's worth it, after all, Mailed Knights are, IMO, the worst heavy cavalry units in the game (excluding merchant/militia cavalry)

I totally disagree, Mailed knights are early knights with lances, so they are superior to light cav and their stats are a bit lower than Feudal Knights (which are the worst imo).

Why do you consider the Feudals to be the worst?

Because they are far more expensive, but only little more effective, I think.
However, I disagree! Fight the Byzantines and you'll know why you should use them.

Because being shot at from a range discourages wearing chainmail?

Isn't there any way of applying the fix without having to restart my whole campaign?

I mean... it sucks, I'm finishing the Moors with Portugal and I don't want to start it all over again

I supose you cant retrain because the era of mailed is over if you play RR.

No

No, you'll need all the armour and skill you can get to fight their bodyguards. They massacre spears like they don't exist! I lost about 4-5 units of profesional spearmen and needed to bring in my cavalry to finnish it!
