    Default Knossos actually can recruit Cretan Archers. (Ignore this, problem solved)

    While I realize they're not a focused on faction, they do have unique trait bonuses when played using the all factions playable sub mod. (Oddly Rhodes, despite being playable in custom battles, isn't available in the grand campaign.)

    I first looked at the roster in custom battles, and decided to check them out on the campaign to see if they just happened to be missed in the custom battle line up, but they are not available to recruit at any of the 1-3 tier barracks.

    I find it really odd that Cretan archers can't be recruited from, well, Crete.


    Also as far as I can tell, Rhodesian slingers can't be recruited from Rhodes.



    It's not a major thing on any important fix list, I'm sure.
    But if possible, do you think you guys could slide Cretan archers into the Knossos roster and Rhodesian slingers into the Rhodes roster for the next patch iteration?

    Those nations are not playable in regular DeI, so their units are also not adressed. Although I believe it should not be that hard to change it.

    Yep I'm aware they're not normally playable. Like I said, it's a minor thing, and really low priority. But it just seems non-sensical that the two states that have units named after them can't actually recruit them themselves.

    If you have the spare time to fit it in, fantastic. If not, well I can always try and make a sub mod myself!

    The should be recruitable as AOR units or MERCs though right? They may just require the tier 3 of the main city chain for AOR.

    Those units don't actually exist in DeI outside of the AOR/Merc versions I don't think.

    As mercs they are recruitable right off.

    Knossos doesn't have any AoR units that I saw from level 3 barracks and level 2 main city chain. I'm currently researching the level four barracks and then will go for the city chain upgrade.

    I could have sworn Rhodesian slingers were in the base game, but it's just as likely they weren't given how long ago I played without DeI!



    Edit: It seems I've made a mistake. Cretan archers are indeed listed under the level three minor city chain building for Knossos.

    I hadn't thought to check there until you mentioned the main city chain.

    Edit: They're listed no where under custom battles for Knossos however.
    I'm also unable to see if Rhodes can recruit slingers as I can't find them in the grand campaign selection menu.

    So, whoever already thought to put Cretan archers as a buildable unit for Knossos, even though they're not a playable faction. Kudos to you, it's attention to detail like that that I love about DeI.

    Uh. I guess since this is now a non-issue. The thread can be locked or something?

    Just like Cappadocia has a lot of AoR cappadocian cav I think Creta should aswell, so make em recruitable from lower tier.
