Carroccio Standard V

[mrpants]

Simple question for the great minds assembled here.

For Venice the Carroccio Standard V, is it a trainable unit in the campaign games or is it only for battles etc?

If it is trainable how where and when.

Many thanks!

It is trainable, in cities from the town hall line of buildings i believe.

Ah ha! Any idea which one? Just my cities are getting well developed now and want to make sure I aim for the right things first.

That's what I recall, too. At least for the milanese; probably for the Venetians too. You can check it from the building browser in the building menu.

For all Italian factions from Cities with Councillors Chambers, but beware they should be mainly used on defensive battles due to them being slow, not as slow as catapults but still it´s good march wasted if you campaing with them.

They're simply EXCELLENT to have around a gate or bridge on the defensive. It makes the gate defensive unbelievably hard. As long as it isn't too overwhelmed(ie. enemy troops push through the entire formation), they will hold no matter what(well, almost). Pushing one along with the siege towers isn't a bad idea either, as troops attacking the walls can get routed before they get a chance to contact properly with the enemy.

As for building it, you'll need the level 2 town hall building, councillor chambers to build it. This means you need at minimum a minor city(stone walls). That shouldn't be a problem though, Milan, Venice and Genoa all start out as that.
