hashashim guild

[lalartu]

it's interesting how not with a single game I've had with muslim factions i've been offered to make a hashashim guild
do I need a special prerequisite to trigger this particular guild?
I know they're pretty lousy for a unit, but better than nothing and frankly i got tired of my generic moor units anyway


can someone shed more light on this issue?

thanks

start producing a lot of assassins in one city. after a few turns of producing and using assassins as a muslim factions should get you the hashashim's guild

correct, produce alot of assasins, and try and lv them up if u can, i produced 3-4 assasins in cordoba(sp) in my moors camp, and then, after i got one to lv up, i got offered the guild. also they are quite a good unit, in my experience they stood up to most european heavy inf, and dismounted knights, and if u can get the guild early u can have a very big advantage over ur enemies specially when u get the "best unit u can train" reward for council quests.
