Garrison tower not working

[Majickthyse]

Hi All.

My retinue is 5 people in 2 families. I built a garrison tower which is supposed to increase the maximum to 12, but can't see any difference.

Any suggestions?

You need to purchase them individually, go to the retine and there is a brush icon called something like customise retine.

You should be able to purchase more retine

you need to pay for them, if you go to the brush icon next to the unit you can do it

Thanks very much :)

I'd assumed that the 5 retinue came from the 2 families in the manor. Seems the retinue are independant and work outside the population mechanics.

Garrison doesn't equal retinue.
The gaurdhouse, or whatever, that explicitly states it increases retinue size does though ;)

I'm not sure what you mean. Although it's called a 'garrison tower' it only references 'retinue' and as far as I can see there is no such thing in the game as garrison.

It’s a bit of a misnomer how the game names the Manor buildings. The “Garrison Tower” increases your max retinue from 12 to 24. You can only have one GT per region. The “Outer Tower” adds a garrison of 10 to the defense of your Manor house. You can build multiple OTs.

The names should be reversed.

It is slightly misleading. It's one of those little things, where if you read what it states, its all clear. But, people tend not to do that...so...
It's worse if you aren't playing in english, some of the names they chose, yeesh.
