Unit Avail Time Line??? -- I can't make anything!!

[DeathJest]

I've read teh entire Manual.
I've even read teh entire Official Strategy Guide.
and I've already did teh patch.

Then I tried to play a game.

And it seems like I can't make any special units.

Like... Trying to make English Longbows...

I sack the Welsh... because they have a province bonus for making Longbows.

Teh Tech Tree says I need a Bowyers Guild to make Longbows.
Bowyers Guild is a Level Three Tech.
So I build a Fort (1)... turn it into a keep (2)... and then into a castle (3).

Build a Town Watch...
so I can Build a Bowyer...
so I can build a Bowyers Workshop...
so I can build a Bowyers Guild.

Tee-Daaaaa.... still no Longbows.

I tried the same thing on the province to the right...
To make Billmen.
Fort, Keep, Castle, Town Watch, Spearmaker, Spearmakers Workshop, Spearmakers Guild... no Billmen.

Is there a time period these things become available???
Am I waiting for an invention?? Am I not reading the tech tree right???

Do I got a Bug??? What's the Deal?

Certain units dont get avaliable until a specific year so that no1 faction gets a massive advantage.
Dont critisise it imajin wat would have happened if the english had longbow men and billmen from the 1300's.

Is there a way to know when???

When these units will come to be?

[Knight_Yellow]

Well i dont realy know but if u ask enough and do a little research then u will probably findout. usualy they appear when the real weapons appeared in real life.

yas site is pretty good, it has alot of unit infos and stuff and it 1.1

[DeathJest]

whoa.

That is a good site.

Okay... I'm fine now.
Thought I was going insane.

Didn't read anything that said the troops wouldn't be avail until the high era.

Back to the War

Welcome DeathJest. The Entrance Hall is at your service

There is also a pinned thread over in the MTW forum at .com that lists the special units and when they can be built.
