Thread: What happened to provincial bonuses?

    Default What happened to provincial bonuses?

    I was just reading a thread in the Main Hall (MTW) when I remembered that in MTW, certain provinces gave Valor bonus to certain troop types (Chiv Knights in Toulouse), or certain troop types could only be raised in that province (Gallowglasses), or they had Iron which meant you could build an weaponsmith and get +1 attack bonuses.

    In RTW I don't think there are any province-specific advantages for certain units. I guess the mercenary system has replaced the province-specific unit types (Genoesse Sailors, etc.) and only certain cultures get access to the higher-leve armorers. I know certain cultures have temples that grant the equivalent of a Valor bonus, but that's culture-specific, not region-specific.

    Have I missed it, or (asside from what mercenaries you can recruit) is one province basically identical to every other, in terms of recruitment?

    I think the merc's replace that.
    I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
    Without a doubt
    Singled out
    The only way I know

    Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
    Marching out of time,To my own beat now
    The only way I know

    One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
    Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts

    "For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
    A free for all,Screw 'em all
    You are your own sight

    I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority

    They're still there, but only for mercenaries. Simply go to the area where they get bonusses, and they should.

    Balearic Slingers from the Balearic Isles always have at least 1 xp
    Cretan Archers from Crete always have at least 1 xp

    etc.
    don't know all of them by heart, nor are they all as interesting. Like Mercenary Peltasts or Eastern Mercenaries. Cheap and relatively expensive in upkeep, while worthless troops.

    I thought that mercenaries would have a bonus by default...

    Elephants and camels can only be trained in certain provinces.

    I'm not sure but I think Spartan hoplites can only be trained from 2 provinces.
