Siege engines recruitment error?

**minhnd6789** · February 21, 2015, 12:38 AM

I have just installed and played the 0.8.3 version and realise that I cannot build any siege weapon except Mangonel.

I have tested to upgrade City and Castle to Metropolis/Citadel with max buildings, but still cannot recruit any other siege engines.

Any explanation, please?

Balistas and catapults have been removed.

Ok I see. How about the Teutonic Knights? Can we recruit them or they are removed?

I am at year 1160 now, as I remember, there was event passing several turns ago which said that the Teuton was establish or something. But I still cannot build the Teuton house as in 0.8.2 untill now.

Do i miss anything, bro?

I'm not sure. I can't remember if MWY has done something about the TO.

I have recruited them. They appear after 1162. Thank for your help, my friend

There are 2 teutonic order events

One for the order being founded, one for it being militarized/organized. The second enables recruitment and is bound on the usual religious order recruitment requirements (global standing).

It is true since I have never seen Balistas & Catapults to be available.
When I play HRE, I can build Mangonel only. But when I play Abbasis, I can build both Mangonel and Trebuchet. Siege engines depend on each faction to be build?

No it depends on time actually

Middle eastern factions get most siege engines earlier because they were developed there/brought there first by the mongols.
(I know byzantines developed trebuchets apparently, still they werent used in europe until 1200)
