Gwaith-i-Mirdain

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Hey playing vanilla 3.0 High Elves campaign. I had originally taken Ost-in-Edhil and defended it several times from OOTMM attacks but unfortunately Isengard decided to target it as well and took it after a bloody siege battle. They proceeded to sack the town, destroying the ruins of Gwaith-i-Mirdain. I was wondering if I will still be able to recruit the Smiths of Eregion unit now that the ruins have been destroyed.

I was looking through the building folders and it appears that at large town level you may be offered a "guild" which at city level would allow the building of these guys. Will I still be offered that or is this a lost cause?

Sorry for the double post but has anyone played through a High Elven campaign long enough to get access to the Smiths of Eregion?

Yes I have played a complete campaign as the HE in vanilla 3.1 and was able to recruit Smiths of Eregion.

What building are they recruited from? Barracks or a "guild"?

From the guild:

I thought so. It appears I won't ever be offered this guild however since my ruins were destroyed in the sacking. I've been offered the history guild about 15 times there (beginning at large town level which I thought was impossible) but never any gwaith guild. That or I just have extremely bad luck. Thanks for your help!
