Using the Lists in Castles for free upkeep

**romanwarmachine** · 08-09-2007, 07:17

Hey

In my current Spainish Campaign ive upgraded the jousting lists and it says that i can have one unit for free upkeep in the castle what units qualify i tried it with a miltia sword unit as it is a free upkeep unit but no go ?

Free upkeep for castles does not work.

It is unknown whether this is a simple text error or that the free upkeep for castles is truely bugged.

Interestingly, the problem isn't that the jousting list is broken, but that no castle-recruitable unit is flagged as a free upkeep unit.

It's too complex and deliberate to be a bug (every city unit is flagged as free upkeep, and every castle unit is not), so it must be intentional.

Something that changed halfway through development, no doubt.

i think it should be working only for knights, as building serves only for knights.

If you have enough florins to build a jousting list, you should have enough to pay the upkeep of your garrison

i building it very fast for exp. bonuses for knights. In fact for england i prefer to build it than another stables.

There is an easy modding fix to open up castle garrison slots. These slots will only be free if you have a unit that is produced by castles in there. Let me see if I can find the link......

This should at least point you in the right direction. I am almost sure that there is an automatic file patcher out there somewhere as well.

There is. I used it. Darned if I can find a link to it, though.

I'll keep looking.

the free castle slots are also in the mod that was released by the CA member, custom campaigns I think it is

Yeah i think i read that about the custom campaign mod, i really only use the lists for the knight experience and i need to dispose of extra money so usally building everything. Be nice if dismounted knights got the exp bonus as well maybe one of the mods will add a melee field or something, brutal!
