View Full Version : Weird problem with units in game, help
first thing- i am sorry for posting here but somehow board doesnt alow me to post in the support forum (why do you guys put on restrictions like that? honestly it sucks)
now i have a huge problem.
im on patch 1.1 and what happens even thoough i build advanced buildings (im playing as Frenchies), like Bowyers Workshop, Guild etc i cant build no new advanced units i thought it was a problem that i have changed StartPos folder in early.txt to a little earlier date, so i though i gotta wait till the time comes for high period and my crossbowmen will appear for production. but hell no i played Germans on battlefield like in 1100 year and they had mounted crossbowmen and i couldnt build them though half my provinces had nessesary upgrades and castles.
what's going on? can someone help me out here, maybe someone had similar problem.
i have read someone had same problem and there was support thread for it but i can't really find it.
thanks for any reply.
hmm not sure i think it might e like thst or u aint advanced enough
its not the case because i got everything and upgrades (i checked with the tech tree that came with my game) and i stay on the same level though Germans get crossbowmen already, and it happens in every game i play.
Not sure whats going on here, might ask in the dungeon or see if a mod will ask there for you. Unless its something you changed, maybe they bought some mercs which can be earlier than their time period. Or even bribed some rebels which can also have wierd units before their time I believe.

hmm havent thought about it that way.
probably the best explanation is they bought some mercenaries.
though last question: even i built all required structures is it perfectly normal that units are not available yet?

sum1 asked exactly the same thing as u so here it goes again...
u r only allowed to post in the entrance hall so that u cannot flame or spamm other topics and if u want to be able to post u have to behave so for the most part is seperates the arses from the real ppl who use this site properly.
as for the units u get them initialy but u do have to wait for the time until they would have been introduced in real life to be able to build them. if u play the game on high period then u can get most units pretty quik and still have tons of time left for conquering the world.

Hello lolik4. Welcome to the waiting room. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif As Knight_Yellow said, you can only post here in the Entrance Hall until we determine that you are capable of playing nice with others. That usually doesn't take too long - just a day or two if you actively post here.
The others explained your problem with not being able to build certain units. The 1.1 patch activated the restriction by era that supposed to be in the game but got turned off in the initial release of the game.
thank you Mr.Gregoshi and the other people who replied.
that explains why i was able to build say crossbowmen in 1.0 and wasnt in 1.1 it's the patch that put on the restrictions for eras.
lol and yes i can assure you im a real people not an arse,i lived long forums life starting at Cossacks forum so i know what it's all about.
now i think i like these forums so much better because they are stable, i quit posting on official totalwar.com forums because they change forums so often that a lot of stuff is lost and their forums are down time to time, so i must say im pretty disappointed with EA's community support.
anywho, thanks for welcome, hope i enjoy it here
P.S. (posting reply only because editing my own post is prohibited)
and yes i think Ikonboard is so much better then official Ezboard forums they have (lol they didn't even bother to change broken graphic on top of their forum, it just stayed there empty box with red cross for months).

Now, now Knight has come a long way. Now he only picks on fictional races like elves and ents. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif
Pig ears? Is that a bribe or a threat? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif My dog likes pig ears. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/dizzy.gif

The mounted Xbows are available even before the archers (?) and in the Early period if you have some Italian provinces, so this is probably why the HRE had them.
