Retrain Bug

[FrauGloer]

Hi everyone, Happy New Year to all of you!

Here's the deal:

I have a Hospitaller HQ in Acre (+2 valor) as well as a tourney field (another +2 valor) plus a master swordsmith's guild in Angers (+1 global for knights). If I count this up correctly, this should give me valor 5 Knights Hospitaller in Acre. However, they all come out at valor 0! They are retrainable (440 florins per unit ), but afterwards they are still valor 0!!! What's going on here?!? I tried retraining them repeatedly, but nothing happens...

Is this a known bug or is this only happening to me? It kind of sucks building all those bonus-giving buildings just to find out they don't give any bonus after all...


BTW, it does say they are trained at valor 5 on the recruitment info card, but they aren't...

Ok, I just browsed through the bug list in the stickies. Looks like it's a known bug...

Just ignore this thread then...

This is why I use a cheat, a lot. I have a similar situation to yours, except I can recruit 6 xp Hospitallers due to stacking a Horse Breeders Guild in the mix. First, I spend 880 florins each to recruit however many Hospitallers I want. Any that come out without experience, I delete. Then I open the console (~ key) and type

create_unit Leon "Knights Hospitaller" 1 6 0 0

. Note, substitute the name of the city where you're recruiting the knights for Leon, change the 1 to however many units in question you have to do, change the 6 to 5 (that's the experience), the first 0 is armor upgrades (can be 0, 1, or 2 with hospitallers) and the second is weapon upgrades (must be 0 since you'd need a swordsmith's guild in the settlement for it to be a 1, and then you couldn't have the St. Johns HQ there). Now you have the same number of 5 xp hospitallers that you should have had already, without spending any more money or time.

Hey, thanks for the tip! And, as I already paid for the knights, it isn't even cheating! Yay!
