Since when can you start with a cavalry unit?
« Topic Start: March 25, 2012, 07:54:18 AM »
Hey, haven't made a new noble or a while. I just made one and cavalry was a starting unit option. Didn't it used to be you needed to earn a certain amount of honor and prestige first? Does that now apply only to MI and special forces?

I made a new noble a few weeks back, didn't see that option.

Maybe its colonies only or it has something to do with family fame.

It could be starting fame. But, if you choose to lead cavalry as a young noble you aren't able to lead very many. I started a new character with cavalry a couple months ago and could only recruit 10 or 15 max until I had been in a number of battles.

Unless you become a cavalier, it will be difficult to recruit over a certain number. Better to start as archers.

Family wealth might also have something to do with it, as well as fame. I know if you have a certain amount of wealth you can choose to recruit larger numbers of soldiers first starting out than you would ordinarily get. Presumably, it's also a bit more expensive to start out with Cavalry than it is with Infantry or Archers.

Do you know how much family fame is required?
