HOWTO: get the Guilds

[Hypocracy]

I've been going through the export_descr_guilds.txt and compiled the following list. To get guilds you need 100, 250 and 500 points for the levels, so 100 for the basic guild, 250 for the master and 500 for the headquarters.
Points you get are divided into 3 sorts, s, o, and a. I think s(settlement) is for the settlement only, o(other) is for the entire faction and a is for all settlements.

For Example:

If your general joins a crusade all your settlements gain 25 points.

Recruit Knight Templar (s 10, o 1)

If you recruit a unit of Templar Knights, the settlement gains 10 points and all your other settlements gain 1

Governor Chivalry > 4 (s 5)

For every turn the settlement has a governor with a chivalry over 4 the settlement gains 5 points

Decrease:
General Abandons Crusade (a -25)

If your general abandons a crusade all your settlements lose 25 points.


To get offered the guilds the settlement needs to be level 3 or above and have 100 of (the guilds type) points for the Basic Guild, and 250 for the Master Guild and 500 for the Guild HQ

Thanks - finally some concrete Guild information.

Well, I can't argue with code, but imagine my surprise (and happiness)after seeing this and just last night getting a St. John's (Hospitaliar) House after achieving very few of the above requirements. I think. Let me describe the set-up....

I am playing Sicily on M/VH, 2T/yr. It was about 40 turns into the game. I had conquered Sardinia and Corsica, them moved on still rebel Tunis. After conquering Tunis I then marched on and took Triploi castle. As soon as I had that castle I converted Sicily, Corsica, and Tunis into settlements. Around this time the Egyptians declared war on me, and altho it lasted for 10 years before I could make a ceasefire with them, no combat ever occurred due to the vast distances.

My next move we west to Algeria. Shortly after taking it the Moors made peace. It was at this time I was awarded the St' John's house in Tunis.

I had not participated in any Crusade, I had declared war (for only a short period) on the Moors, and my King was low chivalry. I am bordered by 2 Muslim factions on the east and west, and it's probably the high values from those that triggered the event.

You don't need to meet all of the points listed, for they are not requirements for getting the guild per se, but rather requirements to earn points to build the guild. For example, I attempt to cover all the points for the assassins guild, or I could just build 10 assassins in that province giving me enough points for a level 1 assassins guild (10 each makes 100).

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm pretty sure that is how it works wth a few exceptions.

[snuggans]

rep up, this deserves a sticky no?

[Tankfriend]

Absolutely. I've just set up several links just for getting the guild for Sherwood Archers. This has to become a sticky...

[harm]

I don't like the fact that CA releases the game with things like this in the closet. Why do we want this stuff to be a mystery anyways? It's more annoying, really.

They do it so we don't abuse the game engine, the whole idea of the guilds is that the guilds you are offered match with the way you're running your empire.

[parvus]

wow, this is really useful! i've always wanted to know how to get guilds!

[Finnbat]

So the men in green tights need a bordell ? heh heh

[IronBrig4]

Thank you so very much. I've been trying to build a swordsmith's guild for ages.
