Imperial Equite troops, where do I recruit them?

[Womb2DaTomb]

Have a quest to garrison 4 Imperial Equite troops, i have absolutely no idea where to find/buy/recruit them? Only had 10 days left on the quest and it's worth 2k so would like to finish it.

Same here. Does anyone else know?

Ok, from what I've found out, it's not trivial - they can randomly appear on any recruitment line, but they are very rare (and most likely will appear on a square that is greyed out for you).

As a reference - the equite line is exclusively cavalry, so check if it's the right one by right clicking on the recruit from the recruiting screen

That said: there is another way. If you have a good leadership level, bandits evolve to the "advanced" chain of their corresponding culture - so theoretically you can just enslave bandits and evolve them. On the other side, I'm not sure what's the corresponding bandit for the empire's culture - I guess none.

Same here. Seems like I shouldn't have picked up the quest because now I won't be able to complete it and the Lord will most likely be angry with me, so good thing I did a backup save before I accepted the quest. Time to reload. xD

Same problem here... would be nice if the devs could describe what you have to do more detailed. Or just put in a help site like in Warband.
Still got 27 Days left so i do my best to solve this quest.

Had a similar recruit and train quest for King Derthert to deliver 5 Vladian Gallant to Talivel Castle's Garrison Commander.
Game crashes on the loading screen following selecting "Talk to Garrison Commander" in the castle.
A few others have the same issue, shown here:

Certain villages have these that you can recruit, or if you get the Imperial Recruits I think you can train some into the Equites.

Yeah ! wasnt friendly enough to recruit them and there wasnt enough time to make em my friends. Quess i learned something :)

You cant train recruits into them. I have been a lord in the southern empire for not too long and they gave me a town. After a while I have just been helping them as much as I can and I started noticing this unique troop was available at some villages. I think it's based on how well your influence is and or helping that faction out alot. I have a few of them in my army as well as their upgraded troop and man. They whoop ass.

It's a bit silly as this quest was given to me almost immedietly, i wish there was some kind of level cap on quests like that.

From the 5hrs I've played they always evolve into imperial Infantrymen or Imperial Archers. never Equite cavalry.

true, i mean i have had some really hard quests when i started, im around 17-18 hours in. just needs some small fixes. other than that i havent had too many issues other than large battles when trying to lead formations. dont work. but yea just once you find something being a problem avoid it. save alot ALOT.

Imperial Vigla Recruit upgrades to a Imperial Equite, but they need a horse. Where to find an Imperial Vigla Recruit? I totally forgot.

I have no idea. I recruited one but he was a deserter so I simply put him back into my troop after I captured him.
