Militia upkeep?

[Ocular_Herpes]

I just started with SS, and I can't seem to find a manual for it. Until I can, I have a quick question about militia: how can I tell how many free upkeep slots a city has?

If you go to look at what buildings you have built in a city or castle, right click on the city walls or soldier barracks and it should tell you how many free upkeep slots you have.
There are a few other factors that can alter it though... like if your faction leader has the "defender of the people" trait, or if you have certain religious buildings like Templar HQ etc...

The fastest/easiest way to tell is look at how many units you can garrison there that have "grayed out" or "blued out"" backgrounds.
If youre still unsure, right click on the actual garrisoned unit... that should tell you how much they are costing you per turn, if anything.

Thanks for the answer! Much appreciated. I have another stupid question now: in battle, how can I order missile troops to charge into melee when they still have ammo left? I want my jinetes running down archers, not exchanging fire with them!

For me the correct button is alt+right click.

@lequintal69: Yeah seems to be like that.

In order to get missile units to charge, hold down shift and right click the units you want them to melee attack (double right click to charge)

you can only get free upkeep for units u can recruit in said city/castle right?
