Problem regarding converting castle to city and recruitment slot.

[Wiezma]

Greetings gentlefolk

I'm currently playing the Age of Discovery addon for Expanded Americas, and it seemed that the converting castle to city, and vice versa, function had been removed.

Happy as I am I just add the script lines regarding converting your town to the edb

BUT it seems that when converting your castle(all levels) to a city the recruitment slots resets at 0, making it impossible to recruit any troops. There is no problem when converting a city(all levels) to a castle.

I hope any of you have a idea of what could have gone wrong.

Many thanks and all the best

Wiezma

It's not all that easy, your recruitment buildings have to convert as well. Or the 'city' or 'castle' entry in the EDB has to be removed.

building barracks
{
    convert_to castle_barracks ; this will only work if you have a building tree with this name
    levels town_watch town_guard city_watch militia_drill_square militia_barracks army_barracks royal_armoury 
    {
        town_watch city requires factions... ; if you remove that entry, then the building will work in castle and city, needs the removal of the "convert_to line"

I have the building tree with the right name and the building does convert, but under recuitment it just says "recruitment slots remaining: 0"?

I'm sorry if I haven't been clear or doesn't understand...

Have you made sure there is this capability for each building in the core_castle_building tree?:

building core_castle_building
{
    convert_to core_building
    levels motte_and_bailey wooden_castle castle fortress citadel 
    {
        motte_and_bailey castle requires factions { northern_european, mesoamerican, middle_eastern, eastern_european, greek, southern_european, asian, } 
        {
            capability
            {
                recruit_pool "Hobilars"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { england, ireland, } 
                wall_level 0
                tower_level 1
                law_bonus bonus 1
                recruitment_slots 1
            }
            material wooden

Yes recruitment slot is listed for all core buildings. The thing is that the "recuitment slot remaining" is working, but not when I convert any level of city to any level of castle. If I do it the other city --> castle it works fine.

I have added the building core tree and the convert to tree.

I really appreciate the help

You are missing a line here:

building core_castle_building
    convert_to core_building
      {
          levels motte_and_bailey wooden_castle castle fortress citadel 
            {
        motte_and_bailey castle requires factions { northern_european,  middle_eastern, eastern_european, greek, southern_european, } 
                   {
           capability

Beside adding the missing line, it seems I had to to delete the last two levels in the castle to city tree.
