[Beta 3 .805][BUG/GAMEPLAY] Can only create half naked Royal Knights (no equip)

from Elemental Forums

I built the War College awhile back in the city of Eishir. I didn't get around to attempt to creating any Royal Knights for a while, I forgot about them. I decided I was going to try some invading, so I figured these would be powerful units. I went to build them but I could only get them as is and I could not upgrade their equipment (from no equipment). I tried going into the design menu but the unit was not listed there. Hopefully I'm not just missing some easily changed option here or something >_<

DxDiag, Debug.err, copy of saved game can be found here: http://jerome.agadak.net/elemental/Beta3%5B.805%5D/royalknights/

Exact same issue here. Wondering if I missed something along the way? Cannot equip or modify the unit either, if that was the intent.

Maybe it's because Horses and visual Armor haven't been made part of the Royal Knight unit yet?  That would be my best guess.

Best regards,

Well they start with 15 armor, with no discernible armor selected or listed on the unit. It has an attack rating of 0 (zero) though also with no weapon displayed in the equipment list. Right now I use them as naked meat shields haha.

 

Edit: 15 armor may be a factor of the "party" system? At any rate they start with some sort of base armor.

Unless you have a metal mine, no armor unless you tack on leathers.  At least you can give them swords (I think they don't require metal but can't remember).  They shouldn't call them knights.  The term knight implies training with heavy armor and a variety of weapons and fighting techniques.  These spuds obviously lack this.  Maybe their mad because they are still landless and can't afford gear yet.  If they sang you could call them, "Motely Crew."  They at least have big hair.

Haha, I have metal mines in that save game. You can't even design the unit to give them any equipment as indicated by the 3rd screenshot.
