LOL! So true.
I was playing as the Woodland Elves and I received a unit of Woodland Nobles at the start of the game, but I can find no way of recruiting or retraining them. *I cannot even find that unit listed in the EDU or EDB files. Its not a big deal as they have the same stats as the late game archers, but I was trying to find out where they came from or what I need to do to create them.
PS:I don't usually rely to much on mercs as I generally "adjust" my units a tad to avoid relying on them, as such, I have no idea how or when they are supposed to appear. Does anybody know how the merc mechanic works? I imagine there is some kind of RNG involved. Just curious. Thanks again for all the help, everyone.
