Cretan archer

[juba1]

Hello,
does someone know how can i recruit cretian archer ?

i was playing as Ptolemaic, owning Crete, have build all the building possible in Kydonia and it was impossible to recruit cretian archer :embarassed:

[Admetos]

Take a look at the Recruitment Viewer.:2thumbsup:

IIRC though, its a level 4 factional MIC.

[Landwalker]

It is a Level 4 Factional MIC. Which the Ptolemies cannot build in Crete. Sorry, buddy, you're out of luck. Just stick with the mercenaries.

Cheers.

Which factions can build a level 4 Factional MIC in Crete ( Kydonia ) ?

dont be soory buddy, i still able to recruit Toxotai Syriakoi and Persian Archers :bounce:



so here EBteam said that we can recruit Toxotai Kretikoi with the ptolemaioi

The conclusion is not satisfying. I don't know wether it is the intention of EB that the Ptolemaioi cannot recruit Cretan archers. If so it would be very strange. The Ptolemaioi were one of the main users of Cretan mercenaries and a lot of Cretans even settled in Egypt.

Copy the recruitment lines in the export_descr_building for Cretan archers (to find a line, search it with "Cretans") and paste it to a Ptolemaioi military barrack with a level 3 or 4 government and you are able to recruit the Cretans. Beware, the Ptolemaioi are named "Numidia" in the files.

If the Ptolemaioi can establish type II govt in Kydonia; then the issue is clear:
go to EDB;
find the building structure which contains J1 in it. (You will find a list such as:
muster_field_J militia_barracks_J1 city_barracks_J1 army_barracks_J1 royal_barracks_J1 )

Now find the fourth level of that structure in the code; and search that level for something such as cretan archers. They will have a tag which is a 'factions conditional' and it'll read romans_julii or sth. Before the romans_julii bit type: numidia, -> So: numidia, romans_julii

And you're good to go. (AFAIK the numidia does have ownership in EDU and does have a slot on the model...)

[Tellos Athenaios]

Just checked and the EDB (recruitment) code is OK. You simply must've installed the wrong governement type:

...

recruit "hellenistic missile cretan archers" 0 requires factions { numidia, romans_julii, } and hidden_resource SW and hidden_resource D and hidden_resource y1 and hidden_resource n2 and hidden_resource n4 and hidden_resource n8

And the next level of MIC is royal_barracks_J1 so there you have it: you need a factional MIC 4; in Kydonia.

In my original EB 1.0 current Ptolemaioi campaign I was not able to install a level 1 or 2 government in Crete. And from the edb you need such a government as a condition for Toxotai Kretikoi. So I copied the files to a barrack with a level 3 or 4 government. Everything else is ok, there are already sprites, textures, UI etc. for the Ptolemaioi.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Ah, must've misread your post then. :oops:

The Ptolies can only establish type 3 and 4 govs in Krete that's why the Cretans are now regional MIC 4 for them in Krete. Or rather will be.
