Hashashim

**Saladin45** · December 10, 2006, 09:44 AM

How do you aquire Hashashim? Do you have to use Assassin's a whole lot or something? I'm trying to get them but can't seem to find a way how. So right now I've got like 5-6 assassins running around Jerusalem and Acre and don't know what to do with them. Anybody got any sure-fire way to get some Hashashim running around?

I think Hashashim are "battlefield assassins", meaning that they are probably recruited from towns like regular units and not a assassin upgrade (the hashish den seems like a reasonable source for the hashashim unit).
Not 100% sure though.

I think you need a specific guild for them. So, you need to wait for an invitation to build one. Though i'm not completely sure.

I figure I can use them to fight the upcoming Mongol hordes. So I'm trying to find a way to acquire them.

u need assassin guild and im not sure if it have to be master assasin or something all i know if i got them after i got the guild ^^

You need a Hashashim guild in a city.

The guilds need to be improved because I honestly believe they are completely random.

I got the Hashashim guild within 3 turns once and I was easily beating early inf with them. I got a Knights Templar chapter house once and I haven't even gone on crusade.

Yes, you need the Hashashim guild, just keep turning down guilds in a city and you will get offered the Hashashim guild eventually. I always do.

**Manji** · December 10, 2006, 11:00 AM

But you can get more than one guild in a city... right?

**Saladin45** · December 10, 2006, 11:03 AM

Dang man. I need a Hashashim guild so badly. They are good warriors.

**~~Miraj~~** · December 10, 2006, 11:09 AM

Like people said before you need a Hashashin Guild. You may have accepted all the guild proposed to your cities. Go into the city you've been building most assasin's from and destroy whatever guild you have there. Turn down all the guilds that are proposed to you and accept once you get proposed a Hashashins Guild. Voila, now you can train Hashashin warrior. Don't forget they are only 60 strong. But the cool thing is they can hide anywhere.

**Veritas** · December 10, 2006, 11:15 AM

And man do they hide anywhere! Every time they stop moving they are hidden, great stuff.

As far as guilds, I've never been able to get more than one guild at a time. For what I know, that's all you can have - 1 per city/castle.

**Saladin45** · December 10, 2006, 11:35 AM

Ok. In Jerusalem I will destroy my Theiologians guild. Thanks guys. Now just gotta wait for that Hashashim guild to come along...

In my Egyptian and Turkish campaign's i never use hasashims since there was no guild avaible for them what so ever. Never..? How come?

**ruffeh** · December 25, 2006, 04:21 AM

i think u need to have a city which trains alot of assasins, also i think u need to have some assasins with a high rank, that might do the trick

but iasm not too sure

i think theres a thread here somewhere that gives info on how to obtain each guild if someone finds i link it here plz

Just for you.

I was playing eygptians and after I had trained a few (3-4) assasins at Cairo, I got offered the guild. There was a thread somewhere with the exact code from the game that governs this, but I forget where.

**dark knight's wrath** · November 10, 2007, 08:03 AM

YOU NEED TO BE OFFERED THE HASHASHIM GUILD, WHICH IS OFFERED RANDOMLY, AND I THINK IS AVAILABLE TO ALL ISLAMIC FACTIONS

**Yogol** · November 10, 2007, 11:40 AM

To get these you need indeed their guild.

To get the guild you need to things :
1. Pick a CITY without a guild in it.
2. Build an Inn, Brothel and Assasin in it.
3. Send the Assassin to a rebel captain.
4. Build a second Assassin.
5. Send the second Assassin to a rebel captain.
6. Build a third Assassin in the chosen city.
And so on... One Assassin can only take one mission each turn, but if you got -say- 4 Assassins, you can kill the rebel captain 4 times that turn. And another 4 times the next turn. And another 4 times. And another...

Every trained Assassin gets you 10 points in the city where it is build.
Every succesful missions gets you 30 points in all your cities.

So, it's very easy to build Inns and Brothels in 4 cities, build one Assassin in it, send all four to a rebel captain and get the guild in all four cities.

As Egyptians, my defending army consisted of nothing but these : they are simply INDESTRUCTABLE untill late, late period.

**pwijnands** · November 11, 2007, 03:10 AM

Guilds aren't offered randomly. If you don't build brothels ever and don't train and use assassins, you will never get it.

The Mongol:
You can get a Christianic order from having a high chivalry governor inside of a city/castle.
