BC: Cant recruit units in Dehli

**IvarrWolfsong** · 04-12-2008, 18:41

After killing a godzillion stacks of Rajput arrow fodder, I fannally captured Dehli in a massive battle.

I couldn't recruit anything from the buildings and they didn't even show units grayed out. I saw the building said (indian) after them and I figured I would try rebuilding them. After destroying the barracks, range and stable I tried to rebuild them. Even after building a new one I still cant recruit anything

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong??

BC has an area of recruitment system, so you can generally only recruit your own units in your home territories. I think it's tied to the religion of the settlement like in Britannia, but as it takes bloody ages to convert a settlement in BC I'm not sure whether this is true. You should be able to recruit some sort of local troops though.

At the moment, you can't recruit anything but levies (city troops) and maybe siege weapons in settlements outside of your AOR (unless the next BC patch is out.

). Not sure if they'll add something like the Britannia's conversion system to the next version or not. If I recall correctly, they were planning on letting you recruit local troops instead.

It is annoying, but realistic.

However, it's a bit strange when the KoJ can't even build Christian troops in Jerusalem.

True, but it is a city not a castle. (game mechanics)

You can build a Templar chapel there though which gives you kickass knights.

I am enjoying this feature I must say.

What faction are you playing, IvarrWolfsong? Some Muslim factions also get "Indian AoR", it is not tied to religion, instead, it's tied more to culture and "sphere of influence", also, possibly distance from your core territories.

@MerlinusCDXX

Do you know what factions can recruit priests in BC? I know that it requires a higher level religious building, but I haven't made it that far in my games yet. So far I have seen that you can't recruit priests as Oman, and Makuria(Ethiopia), but maybe this is just a typo in the building browser?

@IvarrWolfsong

The AOR takes some getting used to, but it makes the game more realistic and adds flavor.
