Where are the Ghulams???

Hi mir !

Ghullies make an appearance in M2:TW Kingdoms (the expansion).
SoP are KIA (dead forever unless you make us a mod which includes them... if you can do that do it please).
To "replenish" depleted merc cavalry put them into a recruitment que at a settlement where the merc is present and click retrain.
The Turks miss true heavy cavalry until Kapukulu show up, until then you can use mercs, Sipahi Lancers or Bodyguards.

You may be interested in the Broken Crescent mod. click this link for screens:

It focuses on cavalry and the Middle East.

SALUTE !

Hullo Sinan. Thanks for the answers!

Could you clarify this please? You said for re-training, I can replenish depleted merc units in a settlement where they are found. I thought mercs can only be hired in the field ie outside settlements? Or do you mean the region.

For example, if I hire Elephants in Arabia, I can only replenish their numbers in the city in that region?

Thanks for the Broken Crescent link. Will take a look.

You can replenish mercenaries in any settlement where there are same type of mercenaries currently available (i.e. you are using up the recruitment pool).
So if there are merc eles still available in Arbia then yes you can retrain them there. If not then no. In that case you have to find a region of yours where you have merc eles available to recruit (and put the merc eles in the recruitment que there).

Cheetah's on point. Do you understand how to retrain them Mir ?

I got a couple of screens for you from the BC mod:

Dismounted Ghulams
NB: Bow, Mace, Sword & Shield.

Elite Ghulams as part of the Seljuk General's Bodyguard
If I'm not mistaken, I think these have Bow, Lance, Sword & Shield.

Junior Ghulams

WOW! Those are great screenshots, Sinan!

Yeah, I know how to retrain units. Just wanted to clarify what you said...

Man, that means waiting for quite some time to retrain most units... Oh well.

Back to Broken Crescent, this looks like a pretty brilliant effort. I've only galnced thru it and already it looks overwhelming. Am gonna take time to go thru it... But am excited about the mod tho!
