Mercenary Generals

I have heard that in 1.0 EB you can recruit mercenary generals, but after playing 20 years with the independent Greeks and 10 years with Carthage I have never figured out how to hire them. I have activated the script if that is part of the answer but I still can't figure it out.

Re: Mercenary Generals

You have to have a type 3 or 4 (I believe) government, and the highest level MIC.

You need a lvl 5 regional MIC which you can only build with a type 4 gouvernment.

Re: Mercenary Generals

Is MIC referring to the building that you use to recruit regional troops or is it something else?

MIC = Military Industrial Complex. Basically a name for your barracks.

And you have to build the regional MIC of level 5, which requires type 4 government.

MIC = Military Industrial Complex.

In EB, MIC come in two variants:

- factional (level 1 to 5) &
- regional (level 1 to 5).

They are a combination of what in Vanilla RTW were the "barracks", "archery ranges" & "stables/circus buildings".

To get a General, you need:

1. A government building with "Alliance" in its name. It is the one that you can build in one turn.

2. The highest level (= 5) of a regional MIC in SUCH a province.

- Level 1 MICs need 3 turns to build, cost (unmodified): 900 mnai
- Level 2 MICs need 6 turns to build, cost (unmodified): 3000 mnai
- Level 3 MICs need 9 turns to build, cost (unmodified): 7500 mnai
- Level 4 MICs need 12 turns to build, cost (unmodified): 12000 mnai
- Level 5 MICs need 15 turns to build, cost (unmodified): 15000 mnai
