The Jannisaries

[Emp. Conralius]

The Jannisary Corp., the most disciplined and fearsome infantry corp. in the whole of Europe. Strippd from their parents at birth, they are brainwashed to serve the Sultan....

But in MTW, how are the produced? What building produces them? Do you need to build them in a former Christian province?

From info gathered from demo files i can tell you what buildings you require to build the 3 types of Jannisary, however im not sure if this will be the same in the finished game...

Jannisary Heavy Infantry requires: Military Academy and Spearmaker4

Jannisary Infantry requires: Swordsmith3, Military Academy and Bowyer4

Jannissary Bows require: Bowyer4 and Military Academy

Also, all three of these units are only available in the High\Late eras...

Also, all three of these units are only available in the High\Late eras...

that means you have to wait to an exact year to start production of Jannisaries?

[Funky Phantom]

Im not exactly sure, all i know is that in the info i have, under "applicable period", this is whats listed, im not exactly sure of the specifics of how\when you get to train them...

DD might be able to help you there...

Some production requires specific buildings only - but to get to those buildings will require such time that it WILL be a certain period.

Take anything that requires a Military Academy: To build an Academy you need a Fortress, so you'll have haad to build a fort, keep, castle, citadel and fortress.

You then need the academy so you'll need a uuniversity - which requires a cathedral first and then the academy. So thats.. lets see:

60 years to get the fortress done, 16 for the cathedral and 10 for the academy and 10 for the univesity... so 96 years minimum

then you'd need the spearmaker (guild or master spearmaker?) which would be 4+6+8+10, ditto for the archery stuff - so add another 28*2 = 56 etc etc etc.

Not sure if Target can add the full details as Im only going off memeory and ive never worked out the full tech-tree for every faction.

So bascically even if not restricted by era "per se" you are going to need to wait X time as a minimum before you can build certain units.


Other units ARE tied to ERA very strictly: Such as ROyal Knights which are all produced fromt he same building but "update" to heavier versions as the era's tick by.
