[.915 bug] Custom faction can't build henchmen

May 25, 2012 5:11:48 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

So I made a custom Altarian faction (you might want to rename Men back to Altarian, that was a bit confusing) and didn't take the Heroic trait because I didn't want it, and now that I've researched Heroes (prereq for henchmen) I find I'm unable to build any of them.  I can still create new Henchmen designs, but I can't use them at all.

Henchmen are unlocked by the Heroic trait so you shouldn't be able to build them without it.

Same thing - I created a custom faction with the Heroic trait, researched Heroes (which indicated I could train henchmen), and still can't train them.

Do they require the Adventurer's Guild to be built?  I'm continuing my game to see

Nope, they don't require adventure guild to build, I can tell you that for sure (I'm building them as Altar without it built). I'm not sure what's wrong with custom factions if they aren't showing up.

Ah, ok.  Thanks Kalin - I'll restart as Altar then, I wanted to try them out.

I am having the same difficuties with the custom fraction and the henchmen.  Have researched henchmen and all surrounding traits and he does not appear on the training list.

One question do you have any influence, it requires 50 influence to build a henchman and it has been shown before that if you have not gained any of a resource required to build a unit they don't show up in the training list.

There is a separate tech for Henchmen.  Henchmen are no longer unlocked by the Heroes tech.  The only requirements to build Henchmen are Altarian blood (Men race) and the Henchmen tech, which is underneath the Heroes tech.  I have a custom Altarian faction in 1.02 and I researched Henchmen tech and was able to train Henchmen.  You don't need Heroic tech for Henchmen anymore, it is now a characteristic of the Faction Race, like Slaves are for Magnar, Juggernauts are for Yithril and Iron Golems are for Gilden.  Heroic tech just gives you influence when you complete quests and extra experience when you complete quests, and maybe one other bonus.
