Scythian assassin

**WN_Barbarossa** · April 16, 2011, 05:12 AM

First post, so hi everyone and a great thx to the modders for RSII.

I have been playing RSII for a couple of weeks now, both 0 and 1 turn campaigns. So far I've always found the answers to problems with the mod in this forum, but now there's something
I can't solve, and found no word about it in the forum threads.

I'm playing a 1 turn Scythian campaign and I can't recruit assassins. I have built the top tier barracks and palace in my capital, but spies and diplomats are the only recruitable agents.
Also in the building browser theres is no building which would make the assassins recruitable.

Can someone help me?
I

Hmmm...you're right, somehow they were omitted when that campaign was set up. The Sarmatians and Scythians are both missing them. Will be fixed in the patch.

If so, is there a console command I can add assasssins with?
There are too many Macedonian assassins at my southern borders
and something bad might happen to my generals.
I tried "create_unit "assassin" "settlement name", without "s
but it didn't work.

That would require a script.

Barbarians don't use assassins becuase it's a cowardly and dishonourable trait which is only present among men of more cultured and civilized minds.

Wow, how did this go for six months without anyone noticing and telling the dev team? Shows how many people play Scythians and Sarmatians :S

Im playing Scythians and was able to recruit spies and assassins after I built Camp of the Warlord I think. Its the one with like 20 new recruits.

Lemme double check...

**Jasper9080** · April 18, 2011, 01:05 PM

Camp of the King and Im plaing 1 turn :shrug:

It's only the one-turn campaign that has the assassin missing for both the Sarmatians and Scythians.

I am playing 1 turn like I said.

How is his Campaign different from mine?

Im using the AL exe if that makes a difference.

Have you tried cheating your way to a maxed out city to check?Also Jasper; is yours modded.

**Jasper9080** · April 18, 2011, 08:14 PM

Huh. Honestly several times i have used add_money and process_cq to get a city where I want it especially my capital and cities with maxed guards and extremely low happiness or rioting. No mods.

So, if I played without using the console cheats to build a city I wouldnt be able to recruit assassins either?

**WN_Barbarossa** · April 19, 2011, 12:40 PM

I'm not making this up. Camp of the King, no assassin.
However you got there stone throwers which I also miss,
so there must be some difference between our versions.

Mine is 2.1a with bi.exe.
