Sherwood Forresters

[Feanor]

I know these lads are good at hiding, but can anyone give any tips on recruiting them?

Thanks

the only way i know of is to bribe rebels that spring up in mercia or wessex - you can get quite a few if you own the province, provoke rebellions, retreat then bribe.

however for all this effort are only 12 man units so don't last all that long...

Greetings Feanor, and welcome to the Org

BigDave is right - the only way you can get hold of Sherwood Foresters is to bribe those rebels. I never bother becaue I usually play as the English and it seems like a lot of effort when I already have regular longbowmen.

However, you can easily mod the game to allow your favourite faction to build Sherwood Foresters. Get hold of the Gnome Editor utility from the downloads section of this site, and then use it to edit the Crusaders_UnitProd text file in your M:TW root directory. Then edit the faction availability to include the English.

Kekvit mod also makes them buildable.

yeah, I would also make them 60 men units buildable only in mercia.

[katank]

make fairly high reqs for good measure as they are fairly advanced and should require at least bow guild IMHO.

they are like better hashishins.

[Feanor]

Thanks for the quick advice.

60 Looks like a slightly overpowered unit

[katank]

Not really.

When I modded them I made them cost 1200 when I boosted it to 60 man and also made crazy reqs like master bow and sword guild and baronial court?

I forgot but they are not that unbalancing.

Medmod gets you sherwood foresters as 60-men units... but they're called English longbowmen, have advanced requirements and a slight reduction in stats.
