Swordsmith's Guild

Lusted, I do believe you've outdone yourself with 2.1. This is FUN! I'm playing Byzantines and am about to finally retake all of Anatolia from the Turks (the perfidious b@stards). The game began rather liesurely. Nobody was at war, everyone was making lots of money and teching up, birds were singing and the sun was shining. Then, about 50 turns in, all hell broke loose. Europe was in flames and five million Jihadists were heading for Constantinople. It was tough fighting, but I've gotten peace with Egypt and have nearly eliminated the Turks.

Now, the main question: are swordsmith guilds still in the game? At 150 turns into the game and with several citadels, I haven't been offered one. I do have two merchants guilds and a theologians guild, so far.

Yup they're still in the game, just pump out lots of sword armed troops from one city and you'll be offered one sooner or later.

Lusted,

Are you sure that swordsmith guilds can be built in that fashion? I noticed that the regions text file has a hidden resource called swordsmith_guild that is only available in Cordoba and Damascus. I've never been able to build a swordsmith guild in any other province.
