Impirial Recruitment ?

How to recruit Priests of Sigmar/Ulric/Maan ?

I have the 1.5 version of CoW and am desperatly trying to recruit some Warrior Priests of Sigmar / Ulric / Maan.
I'm trying as good as I can, building large cathedrals and pretty much anything else.
I am playing with the Ostermark counties and have recently reached TURN 25.
At first I believed that it might be a question of patience until I would receive the anticipated Priests, but when a crusade was called by the Grand Theology of Sigmar, I had an opportunity to check out what the other counties could already assemble in their armies.
It was a dissapointing sight: Hellblaster Cannons, Knights of the Inner Circle, Priests of all sort and Mercenaries...
What was I able to recruit? The usual... but I am really starting to wonder how I can recruit those darn priests.
Can anyone help me? Thank you.

you cant actually recruit priests of sigmar/ulric etc but every turn there is a small perecentage that will be offered for free and join your faction. Its the same with other mercenaries also although the mercenaries require money to be hired(5k minimum) and at least one small dogs of war camp. So it would be wise to end any turn with some money left (5k+) if possible. For the rest units open the building browser ingame to find out what building needed for what units.

Thank you for the reply.
Hopefully I'll soon get some offered then =P

you need to edit the "export_descr_buildings" file. Search for "Warpriests" (should be located under cathedral_5). Change the following numbers from 0 0.1 to 1 0.2 (first number makes them recrutable, second is for the time between two units being recrutable - 0.1 -> 10 rounds, 0.2 -> 5 rounds,...)
You can also delete the event-condition at the end of this line or wait till the event happens ingame (i prefer increasing the chances for those events in the "campaign_script" file)

You need to start a new campaign though

Or try the following cheat ingame.
create_unit "cityname" Warpriests 1 9 0 0

Can you retrain those units btw? I just put them in Capitol as a prestige unit, only used them in battle a couple times vs zombies to gain them xp. I figured like wizards once you lose any they are gone.

No you cant...

I think I read somewhere that the priests of sigmar will regenerate as long as the general you get with them stays alive. Not sure about it though, since it's been a while I've played with empire.

[Reiksfart]

There is an entry in export_descr_buildings for sigmar, ulric priests and witch hunters. Top level church building.

They'll get replacements as long the general is alive, thats true.

[Ichon]

But you have to keep the unit with the general they came with? Never done that yet.

[Lord Baal]

Nope, just keep the unit that has the general alive (in a city or outside one, it does not matter), that's all. The others will replenish with time when garrisoned.
