Kalmar Union units

[Dead Guy]

Heya!

I'm well into my first Kingdoms campaign, playing the danes, or lately the Kalmar Union, in the Teutonic Campaign.

I glanced at a pdf posted here with the tech-tree for the campaign, and noticed some units specific for the Kalmar Union (Gotland footmen, Svenner and Sami Axemen I think).

The pdf indicated that a swordsmiths guild was needed to train Gotland footmen, which look sort of like Zweihanders. I have a swordsmiths in Prauge but can't build them. Do I need to go through the trouble of converting Visby to a castle and start pumping out Norse Swordsmen?
Svenner seems to be recruitable from a higher rank of stables, I'm not sure if I have the required building, but since I can't build the footmen there, I wonder if I can only recruit them in Sweden somewhere...
The Sami Axemen have been discussed in another thread, available as mercenaries on the isle of man in the britannica campaign? I haven't seen these at all in the Teutonic Campaign.

Has anyone managed to get these units after killing "the last king of norway" and everything?

I've seen the Sami as mercs (played as the Teutonic Order, don't ya just love those helmuts! ) in some of the northern areas on the mainland. I am not sure what factions get to recruit them.

Yeah I noticed that when I formed the Unoin of Kalmar, I couldn't find any of the new units even in the tech tree, does anyone have an idea on how to get them?

how to form this union?

The union is formed when the player (as denmark) controls the settlements of uppsala, goteland, visby, ado and kalmar (think thats all of them). You then get a message 'The Last Norwegian King' and basically when he dies you get a message asking you if you want to form the kalmar union. Accepting this means you take control of all of norways territory and units and should also grant access to the gotland footmen, sami axemen and svenna units, however it seems to be bugged.

'dr lummerkrog' over on the totalwar.com forums has come up with a solution that I believe works. It involves unpacking the teutonic campaign, editing 1 text file and creating a shortcut to look at the edited file (i think).

Details in this thread: http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic...on.html?page=1

Had a go at it myself and the units appeared listed on the buildings in the building browser, swordsmiths guild for gotland footmen etc.

Hope that helps.
