Irregularities in recruitment.

**DevrimJan** · September 11, 2013, 07:39 PM

I was playing a Seljuk of Iraq campaign when I noticed that I cannot recruit any ghulam units from the first three buildings in the slave system. However, in a previous campaign I had played as the Seljuks of Rum, I could recruit Junior Ghulams in the Slave Bazaar(tier 2). What could be causing this difference, and what do I have to change in the files to fix it? Below is attached the part of my EDB regarding the slave system.

The Seljuks of Iraq are "russia", and they only have two ghulam units, the top ones, and those are recruitable only from the top building. I don't know if that's intended or not, but that's the reason.

Ok, what steps do I have to take to enable the requiretment? I know I have to make some changes to the EDU, but what changes need to be the done to the EDB?

Copy one of the other factions' lines for the unit you want the Seljuks to be able to recruit and change the name inside the {} to "russia".

In the EDU, you have to add "russia" to the list of factions in the "ownership" line of the units.

Merci beaucoup mon ami.

I have one problem though, the EDB looks like this:

As you can see there are many entries for the same unit, and also most of the numbers after the unit name are kinda hard to interpret. I know some of them are linked to unit availability, but I would appreciate if you could explain further.

There are several entries for each unit because there are several conditions in play.

The first one is the nature of the building owner - the player (event_counter player_is_ghazni 1) or the AI (event_counter ai_is_ghazni 1).

The second one is the location of the building - the core area of the faction (hidden_resource recruit_ghazni) or border area (hidden_resource cbr_ghazni)

The third one is the turn number - 1 (not event_counter first_turn 1) or after. Or maybe that counter is for all the turns except the first one. It doesn't matter, since it doesn't do anything. It is described as "a trigger for the AI recruitment" or something like that, but I've deleted it and the AI recruits just fine. Nobody who's been playing my submod has ever mentioned any issues either.

The presence of the first factor allows the EDB maker to grant different replenishment rates to the player and AI. This is why the AI can always get armies faster than the player in Vanilla BC. The second one allows the EDB maker to grant higher replenishment rates to the core areas of each faction than to the border regions.

Finally, each faction has different replenishment rates and different core and border areas, so further entries were required.

The final result looks like this:

In the EDB, the entries are arranged differently, but that's what's there.

The easiest way to do what you want is to copy the { moors } line for the units you want in every section, and replace "moors" with "russia", "recruit_abbasid" with "recruit_seljuk" and "cbr_abbasid" with "cbr_seljuk".

You will then have to play a turn or two before the units will appear.
