    Default Unit recruitment issue!

    Hi everyone,
    I am playing as Britain and I am trying to locate the scots greys, 10th hussars, and the KGL foot on my unit tree tab (all of which are in my data.pack and patch.pack files, so i do have them! ) but i can't seem to find them recruitable at any building , every building just shows other units except for these which seem to be unavailable for recruitment. Please help?!

    The scots grey's were only available to players who got the game by pre ordering it.
    Its not available any other way.
    The 10th hussar's you've got to sign up to the war room here to unlock http://www.sega.co.uk/sega-pass/
    And KGL you cant recruit at all you can only get them by liberating certain city's and theres very few you can get.

    I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes I am the ghost, that hides in the night.

    We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
    we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
    we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
    we shall fight on the beaches,
    we shall fight on the landing grounds,
    we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
    we shall fight in the hills;
    we shall never surrender.

    Its first gift is concealment: our true faces lie in the dark beneath our skins, our true hearts remain shadowed deeper still. But the greatest concealment lies not in protecting our secret truths, but in hiding from the truths of others.
    The dark protects us from what we dare not know.
    Its second gift is comforting illusion: the ease of gentle dreams in night’s embrace, the beauty that imagination brings to what would repel in the day’s harsh light. But the greatest of its comforts is the illusion that dark is temporary: that every night brings a new day. Because it’s the day that is temporary.
    Day is the illusion.
    Its third gift is the light itself: as days are defined by the nights that divide them, as stars are defined by the infinite black through which they wheel, the dark embraces the light, and brings it forth from the center of its own self.
    With each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins.


    The dark is generous, and it is patient.
    It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt.
    The dark can be patient, because the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout.
    The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light.
    The dark’s patience is infinite.
    Eventually, even stars burn out.


    The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins.
    It always wins because it is everywhere.
    It is in the wood that burns in your hearth, and in the kettle on the fire; it is under your chair and under your table and under the sheets on your bed. Walk in the midday sun, and the dark is with you, attached to the soles of your feet.
    The brightest light casts the darkest shadow.


    The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
    Love is more than a candle.
    Love can ignite the stars."

    I'm not sure that even works now. They 'fixed' an issue, in one of the patches, that had previously enabled you to exceed the limits for special units when liberating a city. Since that patch I haven't seen any extra KGL units created.

    Since Sega has been hacked there is no way to get 10th Hussars until they fix the issue.

    So true, unfortunately. And since it is CA (and we all know that that stands for) forget about it ever being fixed.

    Well, there's something i'll start doing from now on.... blockade all updates until proven innocent.

    When i open my pack files though with PFM and i view the units, i can see all these units in there, the greys, 10th hussars, KGL etc. So if they're in there why can't i recruit them?? p.s. the recruitment limit for them is set to 1 or 2 each but i can't even recruit that much!!

    The trouble with that approach is that patches usually are a bundle of changes. There will be a set of fixes to real problems and a bunch of gameplay changes in the same patch (which you may or may not like). You can't get one without the other so it's a matter of weighing up if the fixes to the bugs are worth the changes in gameplay.

    As mesor mentioned, the Scots Greys and 10th Hussars were both enabled by Steam codes, so they won't be recruitable without having that code (regardless of their being in the data tables). From what others have been said it doesn't seem as if those codes are available now.

    With the KGL, I think their inability to be recruited in the CC is simply a bug. I imagine that their recruitment was probably meant to be tied to ownership of a particular region (such as Hannover) but that got overlooked. Consequently, they don't have all of the relevant table entries to be recruitable in the vanilla game. I believe that some of the available mods have fixed that particular oversight.

    There are some fix mods that enable the KGL to be recruited by the Brits. Rest of the questions have been answered sufficiently.
