What are the requirements for Longbows(England)

[Sloty]

Hi!
I play an english campaign and want to recruit longbowmen.
What are the requirements to train them?

[newt]

Wait until the heavy mail event between turns 100-115

[Sloty]

Thanks!

Actually they require the English Longbows event near 1250 IIRC (they were never used in english warfare before).

Can I change something to get them earlier?

No, that event isn't used for anything.

Oh, you're right. My last England campaign was with 6.2 RR/RC so I thought it was the same thing with 6.3 I think it should make sense to add this event as a requirement to longbowmen

The feature where if you are in Spain you can't recruit Longbows, but you can get Javelins. Use the No AoR version, and you get Longbows no matter where you are.

[newt]

There are a few more, like Pavise Shields and mounted crossbows that aren't used either.
