Dismounted Gothic knights

[... where did it run?]

Emm how to train dismounted ones? seems the infantry training building in castle is builded till the last level.

And I still can't get those. Do I need some sort of special guild building? or something?

[Ishan]

Dismounted Gothic knights are not in the M2TW EDB file that why we can't get them to train them in any building. There one more disabled unit the mounted longbowmen for england.
To enable them you to modify the EDB file.

Thanks...

Now for guy who has no idea about programs and such. Can I modify those EDB or something? Like unlocking factions, if I can, can you instruct me please?

Or it's some more complex situation which can't be modified via simple txt files?

It's very easy if u have modded something in the past but you also said:

Like unlocking factions, if I can, can you instruct me please?

Which means you have no idea about modding.
But unlocking factions is the most easiest thing it's not modding actually more of like a simple trick or mere editing.
OK go the medieval 2 installation directory and you'll see a folder called data.
After that open the file descr_strat.txt which is in
data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder.
When open it you see something like this

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

; Custom campaign script generated by Romans Campaign Map Editor

campaign imperial_campaign
playable
england
france
hre
spain
venice

end
unlockable
sicily
milan
scotland
byzantium
russia
moors
turks
egypt
denmark
portugal
poland
hungary



end
nonplayable
papal_states
aztecs
mongols
timurids
slave
end

now simply cut paste the factions which are under the unlockable into playable and save changes to the file & make sure u make a backup of the file first.
Now launch the game and Voila you have unlocked all factions.

If u want to learn about modding more then post your doubts under the mod workshop forum as we are not allowed to discuss modding problems under general discussion forum.
Hope this helps

Emm I'm awere of that strat file with factions, time, date and so on.

Hmm so it's not txt file editing. Well, gonna need to live on with Zwei handers : D

Why even use Zweihanders? Just use DFK's, they are cheaper ánd better units.

Zwei handers cuts DFK's into pieces, also most of other heavy infantry then I try infantry fightis 1 on 1 in costum battles. Also I go with upkeep cost rather than train cost. In this case Zwei handers are cheaper after 3 turns.

Anyhow thanks for info about gothic knigts. I'll try that out.

What about unlocking Mongol faction..

What about unlocking Mongol faction..

Unlocking mongol faction requires a lot of work as they as emergent faction not a normal one that starts from turn one with a settlement.

I concur with lenney boy here DFK or better DCK both are perfect for nasty fist fights.
+ rep to u lenny boy

Thanks mate But I'd prefer if you would just call me Lennert. (repped you back none the less)

Anyway; Dismounted knights will defeat every other type of heavy infantry the HRE can field, plus they are easy to recruit and maintain (doesn't take a lot of upgrading). I think it's too bad, though. The 2-handed bug should have been fixed in the first patch.

@Lennert
No problem Lenny boy oops, I mean Lennert won't happen again.

And i concur with you Lennert on this point.

2H bug is fixed in pretty much every mod, I can't believe anyone still plays vanilla.

Yeah, haha.

It's good for a month or two to get used to the game, but after that...

I'm still waiting for my new Kingdoms disk to arrive, it's been weeks since I ordered it.. Once I get it, SS 6.1 is the first thing I'll download.
