Greetings,

I am playing as the Germanic Empire in the Early Campaign and it is now year 1257. I have conquered Western Europe and have made forays into both Spain and Britain, however, my best unit, the Swiss Pikeman is no longer available to me I would estimate that I created about ten of these units in Switzerland and Provence(?) over the course of twelve years. In Switzerland, I built a Master Armory, or the like, and was about to create my first Armored Swiss Pikeman, but he would never produce, and when I cleared my queue neither he nor the standard Swiss Pikeman were available any longer--this situation carried over into Provence at the same time. So, is there a maximum number of units that you can create of a certain type?

hmmm...I have had that before...and I am trying to remember what it was and why...

Did you install the patch while you were playing a campaign ? I think that was it...so you end up having some units on the waiting list and they don't produce. Some units are only available in later periods...such as the Swiss specialised pike men. Hope I was of help

Cheerio

forgot something...and I forgot what it was now...lol. hmmm....( rather long pause...thinking....) ahhhh, yes... the limitations of what to build were brought in by the patch...so that would explain why it worked before and now it doesn't anymore...I have had exactly the same...(I said that already...)....I must be tired

Yes, that must be it Thank you for your prompt reply. I did install the patch during said campaign. How long will I have to wait for my pikemen (it's 1262 now, and i'm getting dangerously close to not needing any more Pikemen).

no worries...as I said...happened to me too...about the pike men...am not sure you will get them in the early era, so it seems you will have to do without them...sorry Am sure you can kick a*** also without them although they are ace...

Actually I beleive you will be able to get them back in the late stages of the game, as long as you hold onto the provence when it rebels in about 150 years. But thats a lot of turns from now.
