Robin Hood and Merry archers

[bluebird]

The Viking Invasion expansion offers lots of new rebel types to aquire. The problem is getting them to turn up. I managed once to recruit a unit of english bandits in northumbria once but I have never seen them again in subsequent campaigns. Anyone know any tips on getting the right type of rebels in different places?

Just find out and remember where what type of rebels pop up where, then get that province to rebel repeatedly. Try and keep as many troops there as possible while still allowing it to go rebel to ensure a larger rebellion army, then bribe it and you get the sherwood foresters or berserkers or whatever.

I know for a fact that you can get Saxon Huscarles in your army if you send a crusade through England. They will just spawn, like other troops. Don;t know if it picks up sherwood foresters, but I think so.

I did not know about those "secret" units. I will have to try that out soon. I was not posting here when I was playing a lot of MTW, so I did not pick up on any of this earlier...

If it helps:-



I kept getting them to emerge when I was harrassing the uber country (france) from Scotland when playing as the Russians. I think they only appear in mercia though. Not sure though.

I've modded the game so that you can use them, but rather than building you get them through crusader, other factions have their specialized units too now.
