Where are my units?

[Flytch]

Firstly, brilliant mod, I'm having great fun with it

I'm playing as Denmark, and in custom battle I have access to various units such as sword staff militia or dismounted Feudal Knights, but in the main campaign, I'm limited to very few unit types. Will they appear later on or do the custom and campaign unit selections not add up?

You should get them later, since the mod adds every new kingdoms unit

What are the highest recuiting building you have?

[Flytch]

Sort of midway through the barracks for a castle. I have a fortress and still no feudal knights or dismounted feudal knights. Also, in the building browser, none of the buildings indicate any units more advanced than sami axemen.

Could be a bug then, I've had some bugs with the mod myself

I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you, hopefully someone else knows this

[Flytch]

No worries , it'll just be more of a challenge this way

built a stables- as you cant recruit anything except peasants from castle structures

I have a similar problem with the Byzantine Empire. Some Units are missing e.g. I can't build any Spear or Town Militia in Constantinople and Varangian Guards are also not available.
Castles are unable to build Units, also Peasants and Peasant Archers are missing after upgruding the Archery Range and Castle Barracks.


I had a look into the "export_descr_buildings" file and it looks like many Byzantine units have been removed
does somebody know if this has any reason or why e.g. a upgrade to the highest stable removes almost every cavalry unit?
or why upgrading to the highest baracks removes dismounted lancers, dismounted lantikon(=dismounted knights) and only keeps alemani (=two-handers?)

My guess would be for balancing.

[Chlodwig I.]

I doubt that it is balancing.
Because if you don't upgrade the Building you keep the better units.
So why upgrading the Building.

I think it has something to do with the size of the export_descr_building file

It was done to prevent the AI from buying cheap, ineffective units after the gunpowder event. Please see this post from Dave.

Thank you for the information,
I can understand these changes and somehow they are a good idea
but for byzantum it is very bad because they loose the defence against cavalry, swordman and two handers are no good defence
also they don't gain any good gunpowder unit.

So I think I'll have to change the export_descr_building file
