View Full Version : Can I build conquered unit types?

When I conquer a province that has a special bonus for a unit type (e.g. Wessex and Longbowmen), will I be able to produce that unit? Or am I constrained to only producing the units available to my country??

I seem to be able to use 'conquered' unit types from Rebel provinces (e.g. Highland clansmen).

I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere ~:confused: - thank you in advance for helping.

err, I meant Wales and Longbowmen (hey, they both start with W and they are English ~;) )

(sorry, I couldn't see where I could edit my post)

Sadly for most of the units in the game can not be built by a conquering faction. Some region specific units can, say like jennetts and the clansmen, but faction unique units can't be built for the conquering faction.

hmmm, if I understand what you are saying..

When I conquer the english, I cannot build ANY/ALL unit type(s) the english can produce. (I kind of figured that).

However, when you say "region specific" units, I believe that is what I was trying to say - units that get a special bonus if they are built in that region (e.g. longboats in denmark, Clansman, Jinnettes, Cogs in Wessex, longbowmen in Wales etc)

So to clarify: when you say "region specific" unit, is that what you mean (those units who get special bonus when built in a specific region)??

Are each of the "region specific" units able to be used once you conquer the 'associated' province? (or only some, and how do I find out which ~:confused: )

Thank you so much for the help!! ~:cheers:

No that is not what I meant, sorry for the mix up. When I say region specific units I mean there some units like: Avar Nobles, Clansmen, Jennetts, Landsmen... and a few more i can't think of) there almost like hidden bonouses. The game does not tell you where you can build these units. You must find out. Like Clansmen in Scotland, Avar Nobles in Moldovia, Jennetts in spain. Its more of a trial and error. Sorry for not making myself clear earlier.

These are handy - list who can build what, when, where, etc.

They are in bitmap files - I printed mine out.

Figure out this one: When conquering Denmark (or sweden, norway) in Early, you cannot build Vikings (since they are faction specific) as a foreign power, but you cán build Viking Huscarles, Viking landsmenn, Viking thralls (? :dizzy2: ?)! (since they are region specific)

The funniest example: you cannot build Horsemen, since they are again, faction specific! But you can build VIKING RAIDER CAVALRY, since they are region specific. RRRight..

Worst you can have is like Swabian swordsmen: faction AND region specific.. for HRE and Swabia respectively
