Unable to hire Hired Swords

[edkravetz]

I have a sisters campaign and even thought I have available spots, I am unable to hire from the hired swords. I can hire vanilla zero level sister heroes but not the hired swords. Has anyone else had this problem? Or know how to fix it?

[discombobulated1]

you need to be a certain rank for some

I've encountered the same problem. Seems your warband is randomly cursed at the creation.

Yeah one of my lower level warbands can hire. But my high level warband it always says non available. So i think it could be bugged.

Are you guys by chance trying to hire from the Hired Swords tab in the lower right corner (which only displays the Hired Swords available) or hire Heroes from Henchman slots...?

Or are you talking about higher ranked Heroes? Because what ranks and types turn up in the rotation is random, and all of them except the initial Hero are restricted by warband rank.

I don't have _any_ hired swords available. Period. No notification of next hired swords rotation either.

I get hired swords, go to the Hired Swords tab, and have enough money to purchase, but am unable to. It doesn't give me the abiltiy to click on thier cost, to purchase them.

The hired swords tab is just a means to browse them even if you have no empty slots. In order to hire them you need to click on an empty slot in your warband or reserves (the circle with a + symbol in it).

What mikeblackburn13 said is correct. The Hired Sword tab is just a viewer. You can hire any of the hired swords in it from the proper Warband Slot.

What causes a bug when I don't get any hired swords? Because if I lose any of my better warriors, it's game over for the current warband.

Clicking the empty slot, only shows me zero levels. Not the hired swords.

[edkravetz]

Figured it out. The 2-1 slot hero area, needs to have the top slot available (no heros in the bottom 2 slots). This allowed me to get the impressive.

they are there and available once u unlock the slots for them
my lvl 3 Ogre Cost 890g and im about to buy a lvl 5 warlock for 1800g

i may reconsider buying the warlock as they dont tend to live very long
i've had 3 die before they got to lvl 3

the further you progress the higher lvl henchmen you can hire if you want

i do believe the UI could be improved for the hiring of goons but a bit of experimenting soon had me under control

dont get too attached to your goons,they will certainly die in the city of the damned,just a matter of time:)

Buying Warlocks at higher levels is actually a good way to go, as you can then start them with decent spells/skills and then keep them well out of melee (where they suck) and use them in a support/damage role (where they are much stronger).
