Swordsmiths Guild

What does Swordsmiths Guild in SS really improves? The experience of units that uses swords as their primary, or of some other units too?

I can`t make up my mind should I get one in my main castle (Pskov) as Novgorod, as I will mostly be utilizing my Berdiche Axemen...

I think it improves the experience of all units (infantry, cavalry, archers), so I afaik it would improve Berdiche Axemen.

Generally it improves ALL the recruitable units in your settlement, infantry, cavalry, and some archers, wich is weird. Therefore it's my favorite Guild of all the "castle" guilds...

Edit: Oups. Already answered.

What does experience improve (besides +1 atk) since that's what replaced weapon upgrades in SS6.4

XP improves accuracy, attack, defense skill, and morale.

And units can fight longer without becoming tired

I believe it doesn`t improve the defense skill.

Swordsmiths guild pretty much upgrades everything trained here.. except i think archers, since they get upgraded by the archers guild... also by far my most favorite guild for castles, even though i only ever get masons guild, which most of the time ends up with me having cathedrals in castles because the masons guild donated a small church to them.. makes for weird things it does!

It is weird but archers and horses get exp bonus too! I think it is a bug... but it happens!

I really don't get why they have swordsmiths, archers, and then horsie guilds, I mean really just put it under one thing, and make up something else or just get rid of it altogether. Swordsmith is easily the best giving experience to every unit, Horse just for mounted units, archers just for archers, swords though bring everyone up, I don't bother with the others at all because they're garbage.

Variety is good.

Ive been trying to get a swordsmith guild, but cant get the game to offer me one.
Ive been recruiting a lot of sword weilding units from the city.
Anyone know what exactly you have to do to get the guild?

I think the file calls itself something like descr_guilds... All your questions are answered there

You need to train a lot of units... and have a fortress or some kind of big city... and if you destroy a guild somewhere all guilds will hate you!

I'm not sure if it's so much recruiting units...'cause I destroyed France as England and immediately got an offer for a swordsmith's guild in Lyon :/ There's more to it so yeah, check descr_guild
