Fortress level stops upkeep?

[Twist of Cain]

I was playing 4.2 HHB as the HRE, and when I upgraded my castles to Fortress level, they stopped being able to support my old dismounted feudal knights as free upkeep - and also would not support my newly built dismounted gothic knights as free upkeep either.

Anyone know if there is a fix for this?

They also won't support my dismounted imperial knights. But apparently if I downgrade all the way to armored sergeants, I can have upkeep infantry again.

Yea thats what happens in Heroes Hordes and Beyond, its just the way the sub mod was made.
I recall another member having similar problems with that mod, only with population growth problems, id talk to Soul Firez i belive it is, to fix that.You can always add a few scripts if you know what to do to get the free upkeep to work for your Knights you know.

if you want these units to have free upkeep just go to the EDU file and add free_upkeep_unit at the end of the attributes line for those units...

also units can only be free upkeep where they can be recruited...in these mods when you upgrade some of your lower power units will not be recruit-able anymore and therefore taking away the free upkeep ability....but for those units it shouldn't be an issue as those are likely to be available throughout the entire game...

The number of free upkeep units is determined by the city/castle wall building in the EDB. It is possible that the free upkeep units was omitted from a building, but I do not have a copy of HHB installed on this system so I cannot be certain. You can make all units free upkeep, but if there are no slots allocated in the wall building then it will not matter.
