NEED HELP! on the character creation i chose to be from the free cities so i can get essosi troops from villages but that makes me get only qohor troops... and when i conquer a city and i tell my master of whispers to change my culture i change it to tyrosh for example but i STILL get qohor troops!!! i have been waiting for 15 days after i changed my culture from qohor to tyrosh but i still get only qohor troops from the villages WTF IS THIS BUGED??? how can i get tyroshi troops from any vilage of my kingdom instead of qohor troops? does changing your culture even works for this mod? if not we should at least be able to choose any faction from essos and not just free cities which is actually qohor.. what about volantis? anyone can explain to me whats going on here?
Im sorry but I have some bad news for you.
You CANNOT effectively change the culture of your faction. I mean you can talk to your advisor and he will in theory change it, but it will not work. This is one of the big bugs in the mod i suppose.
As far as recruitment of a specific faction units. I figured out how it all works.
First most important think is your characters RELIGION. If you follow the Seven, you will be able to recruit from villages belonging to factions which follow that faith. If you have a different faith, then you should either change it (I only know you can change to the faith of the seven in one of the septs). I havent played a Rhollor follower but i assume that would make you only be able to recruit from Essos. Similarly, if you follow the Old Gods, you get only recruit in the North.
Now, about the character ethnicity, it does play a role but not as you would expect. It sets what kind of troops you can recruit from your kindgom FOREVER.
So, if you are a Northener, you will only be able to recruit Northern troops from your villages, BUT if you have a lord of lets say formerly Westerland faction, and that lord is holding a castle and a village belonging to that same castle, the village will produce westerland troops and you can pick them up. HOWEVER, im not entirely sure if it will work this way each time, because im saying this based on the fact that some westerlander lords who joined my faction with their castles, gave me option to recruit westerlander troops from their villages, thats why i say it.
It doesnt matter what culture you set for your kingdom. It does nothing.
So, all the ethnicities have a specific troop type coded as what you can recruit, and only that. The only other option for different troops to be recuitable for your faction is what i described above with the westerlanders example.
So again, number 1 is the religion and that affects the most, and number 2 is your character ethnicity.
