Crusade Mode | Adding units.....

[Dandy Haired Raven Boy]

I cannot, FOR THE DAMN LIFE OF ME, figure out how to add additional units or create a new 'group'... It straight up just doesn't let me purchase additional units, they're grayed out.

What am I missing here? This is driving me insane

[Soul]

see the green numbers on the top of their portraits in the recruitment screen? that's their weekly growth / recruitment rate.

[Djin]

there is a limit of how many u can recruit both in availability, number under the portrait, and financially, the bigger number below it.

There is also a limitation of maximum different units in an army, be default 3. if you are recruiting a unit that does not already exist in the army the recruit attempt will fail. though i advise you only have 1 active army with a general at a time and no more. the rest should be mules.

Lastly the mercenary armies are hired in bulk if you don't have the money for the full bulk the hire attempt will flicker and fail.

Just think of Heroes of Might & Magic gameplay for the kingdom, its exactly like that

Ahh so the green shows the max I can buy in a given week.. then the blue number below is the remaining amount I can purchase for the week.. so if that's 0, then I assume I exhausted them for the time being

Thank you all :)

Also decent tip if you want to get a head of the crusade game early, In the recruitment screen there is a "buy resources" button were you can buy finance and material points for gold.

He's not wrong though. The Crusade stuff somehow managed to be worse than the Kingdom management, by tacking the world's most boring turn based tactics game to it.

Yep. Real garbage. That is why I cheat.

1.) Go to your saves in users>your name>Appdata>LocalLow>Owlcat Games>Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous>Saved Games, and then select your save (it helps to sort by last modified as the names of your manual saves won't always match what you wrote in game). Open the archive with 7zip.

2.) Scroll down to player.json, right click, select view. This should open a notepad document. It is large and gibberish, don't panic!

3.) Ctrl+F search for "count":#, where # is the number of units of a particular type. The entire line you are looking for "unit":"string of numbers and letters","count: and then a number.

4.) Change this number after "count:" to whatever you want. I did 3000. If there are more than one result for the # you searched, be careful you could be buffing a demon army! What I did was change each result to a different sequential number (3000, 3001, 3002), then I went in game and looked to see which one was my actual army, then I changed the others back to their default values.

5.) One-shot everything with every unit. Upgrade to better units if you want and use the same method to increase their numbers if desired. Roll over everything with roaming doomstacks.

6.) Profit.

I approve and may just well do that.

Yeah so far not impressed with the crusade system, could be so much better but feels like the ball was dropped on it. There is a mod on nexus that lets you auto win the fights. Haven't used it yet but might with how its feeling right now, kingmaker's kingdom management was more interesting than this. Hopefully they'll improve it over time, but right now... it's just tedious and uninteresting.

Confirmed that mod can break your game, freezing your armies in place, no solution.

Yeeeap same here.

Literally lost my entire army to a single battle early on and my weekly recruitment? just a few odd guys here and there. Not a lot of room for error in the crusades.

The crusade system is glitchy, non-intuitive, terribly explained and I get the feeling it can cause a game over if you mess up, which is pretty easy. Traps seem to do nothing, and once you've levelled up a general that turns out to be useless, it's likely hard to start with a different one as the fights get harder fast. Why new troops have to spawn really far away and can only move a certain distance is beyond me. I'm repeating myself, but these types of mechanics are terrible in single player games with a lot of loading screens. I got an achievement saying I made the enemy attack one another, but I have no idea how I did that and afaik I have no abilities that would cause that to happen. Maybe they walked into their own stinking cloud or something. *shrug*
