Venetian Heavy Infantry

Hey guys...

Pretty sure I'm going to be rolling a Venice campaign starting tonight...quick question though:

Venetian Heavy Infantry- In custom battles these are listed as a late period unit. This surprises me a little as I got the impression that they were available "relatively soon". Not if they show up in the last time period the game covers.

Is this accurate? I would assume that since they're listed as a late period unit in custom battles, it is...but I do know that occassionally in TW the campaign units operate a little differently.

Can anyone clarify that they require a barracks (simply enough) but that a Venice player has to wait until the late period to recruit them?

Thanks

Only a barracks is needed, nothing else.

Early/High/Late refers to an approximation of how many turns it may take to get a castle to that state. Not really accurate though.

Oh ok...so the custom battle periods are a rough guide huh?

So the game starts @ 1080. Hypothetically, if I had a barracks up by 1090- I can begin recruiting Venetian Heavy Inf?

Thanks

Yes.

Cool and thanks again...

For the record- Yeah I'm looking at some sites now and see there's no way I'll be up to a castle barracks in 10 years lol. Still, it's good to know.
