Replenishing Royal Knights between Eras...

(MTW/VI 2.00)

I guess I'm a bit slack, but sometimes I take a few turns to retrain/replenish depleted units.

I've noticed that I can't retrain Early Era Royals to become High Era Royals, which is a bit annoying, because I've usually got quite a few good Jedis by the change of era.

Is this fixed in the 2.01 patch? (I don't have internet at the moment, which is why I haven't simply downloaded it yet...)

No....

But why do you want the Early Era RK?! They are less powerful than the High Era Knights.....

You can retrain Early RKs in high, they will be upgraded to a full unit of High RKs.

Ohhh, edyz, you didn't read what he said properly. Tsk Tsk.

What Zarax said is possible is something that I know for certain fails to work in MTW v1.0, cos I tried it myself and was told, by the game, 'this unit type is no longer available', or words to that effect. In other words, having the right buildings was moot - the game wouldn't let you exchange one type for the other.

Glad to hear that it's fixed in MTW:VI, as I've recently installed this but have only just started a campaign and it will be a long while before I reach the transition point.

Incidentally, in my last pre-VI campaign, I found that I could retrain a prince's Ghulam bodyguards (Almos) to have armour upgrade but it wouldn't let me retrain the king/sultan (similar effect with the English) unit.

This might be down to the way that the game restores the man-numbers in the king's depleted unit by a few men per turn. Free of charge, I might add.

Yes, I also noticed that the King's unit will also auto upgrade if it takes losses and replenishes after an era transition.

I noticed I couldnt retrain my King's unit at all. Even if it was full, to get weapon upgrades from the Spanish Provinces. xD That's just mean.

Weaponsmith: Yeah we have these bright, sharp, really pointy and strong lances oh exalted Almohad Caliphate.
Caliph: Great, gimme!
WeaponSmith: upgradeweapon+4.exe failed
Caliph: WTF!1!!ONE!1

xD
