I started a campaign as Sab'yn and after conquering Tamane I built a type 4 government there. However, this did not give me any ability to recruit a general, so I started an Arverni campaign just to see if they got generals from their type 4s, or if this was just a problem for the Sab'yn, and they did. Surely this is a mistake, yes?
Sounds like a mistake, yes. I imagine that it's only for that settlement. Can you verify if you can recruit generals in other settlements as Saba?
Edit: Seems that was forgotten, yes. I don't know which general type is the most proper, so I'll update the fix as soon as the historians get back to me. Please let me know if there are more settlements lacking them.
Alright, after checking it out more throughly, here's a list of settlements without any recruitable generals for Saba (and I'd suspect any other faction as well):
Maryab
Tamane
Sabata
Carna
Ubar
Bostra
Petra
Homna
Gerrha
You can get Greek generals when you come to Hierosolyma, Palmyra (which also allows for eastern generals), Alexandreia or Charax.
Thanks a lot! This is very useful :2thumbsup:.
Glad I can help. I've now found that you can't get any in Meroe or Axum either. I haven't had time to check any further up there (save Alexandria) though. (If no other word is given I'll check it out tomorrow.)
The problem here is that we never decided on any general unit that would fit in those provinces, so there was no client rulers available there before either. If the historians can come to a conclusion I'll make a fix for it.
Any response from the historians on the client ruler unit issue?
An Arabian type cavalry unit would be cool and fitting.
No, there has been no response, despite me bumping it about 10 times. I've given up on it.
Please not! We need those Puppet-Rulerz down there!
Could you make a fix with African Light Cav and possibly redo that if the team-historians come to a conclusion? Don't want to move for every town a client ruler from my other outlying territories...

Why not just fill those areas with the Hellenistic Client Ruler bodyguard, at least as a filler, assuming you were going to make a specific new bodyguard for those areas? You could always justify it as finding one of the Hellenes that had emigrated to such far away locales and giving him an offer he can't refuse. I mean, the Saba have access to the Pantodopai Phalangitai as a regional, which means enough Hellenic colonists arrived that they were able to provide training, officers, troops, etc for Macedonian-style phalanxes, right?
If you were/are going to make a BG unit for each I would recommend going by what the nobles of each area preferred to fight. For Axum/Meroe, that might be a version of the Ethiopian Cavalry or the Ethiopan Swordsmen. For the Arabian peninsula I would probably have to say the Saba Medium cavalry unless you wanted to use the Saba Noble Infantry, though that would basically be like giving the Client Ruler the Saba FM bodyguard, right (haven't played as Saba myself)?
If you don't want to do that for historical accuracy reasons maybe you could tell us what files we would have to mod/add/etc and we could start a thread in the modding section and see about making an unofficial one. I'll be the first to admit that one of the main reasons I have avoided the Arabian peninsula like the plague is for its lack of client rulers. The fact that Axum and Meroe also lack them is new to me though.

I'm dreaming of a Saba campaign so somewhat interested in this. I guess the simplest way would be to use a hackerish way, i.e.
1) Decide which generals should be available where. Available general units are
2) Using DESCR_REGIONS.TXT as a reference, update export_descr_buildings. E.g., to allow recruitment of Hellenistic General in Tamane(Qataban) one can add a lineCode:steppe general rauxsa-alanna baexdzhyntae
hellenistic general lonchophoroi
eastern general persian cavalry
african general numidian nobles
germanic general gastiz
italic general campanian cavalry
celtic general neitos
BTW I've been amazed to see how EB team bypassed the restriction on the number of hidden resources by the means of bit flags :)Code:recruit "hellenistic general lonchophoroi" 0 requires factions { gauls, scythia, romans_brutii, britons, dacia, thrace, romans_scipii, spain, greek_cities, macedon, parthia, carthage, numidia, egypt, seleucid, pontus, armenia, romans_julii, germans, saba, } and hidden_resource EA and hidden_resource E and hidden_resource y1 and hidden_resource y2 and hidden_resource n4 and hidden_resource y8
I believe below are all settlements without recruitable generals
So corresponding EDB entries will look likeCode:Gerrha(Gerrhaia_Arabia)

Cool but I believe you can leave Terhazza out in any case. Isn't that the unreachable desert settlement?
Sure, I just didn't want to change automatically generated lines ;)
ok so I dump the above code into my export_descr_buildings file? Anything else I need to do? Thanks for the fix btw.Quote:

Okay,
how do I assign the Arabian bodyguard unit as a gov4 recruitable unit?
What is unclear? IAmPhet has posted the code, now replace with your general choice.Quote:

But I've an additional question, how or where is it defined, that a unit is a general for recruitment. I.e. I want to make an Arabian General Unit with the same skin and stats as the Sabean Medium Cavalry, what do I've to do for that?
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I'm german.
Your English is fine. If you do not understand my English, kann ich das ganze aber auch per PM auf Deutsch an dich senden.Quote:
