BGR, RR/RC Enabled; Heavy Mail Event; No Longbowmen?

[agc28]

6.3 BGR. FTT. SavageAI.

Seriously, no longbowmen. I have citadels and marksman's range in many castles. The building info page used to say 'Archer' and 'Levy Archer' only, now it has an added entry of 'Longbowmen.' But I still can't recruit any, even in English citadels (Nottingham, Caen, etc). They don't exist on the recruitment page. It's not like they are greyed out. They are simply not there. Not even if my war councillors with PTS are in the citadels. It's been a few turns and I'm worried.

I don't want the no waiting mod. I like RR

It's possible that you recruited to many professional troops, there is a limit in BGR. Are the longbowmen the only unit not showing or are there other from the same category missing as well?

It's important to say they don't appear the same year the event does. This mean you must wait one turn again to get them.

I wrote in my initial thread that I had played for a few turns already. after the event. it is turn number 106 now. still can't recruit any longbowmen anywhere.

agc28, I'd like to help out - but I frankly need answers for that. Read my post again in context with the quote below and respond.

Recruitment Limit Reached

Your empire cannot sustain a size of military force which is too great compared to the size of your empire.
All recruitment for all generals, with the usual exception of militias (category C) is restricted.

If you have only just been notified of this restriction and have only just exceeded your maximum recruitment level, yet you need a better army, disband as many weak units as you can spare. Next turn, if you disbanded enough and your recruiting generals are in position to recruit, then with all other factors being ok, recruit as many powerful units as you can muster before you again reach your limit.
You have effectively promoted the old units.

If they are not greyed out then it is nothing to do with BGR, try RR.
