Best way to get Swordsmith Guild?

[Eat3n]

I got the Kalmar Union (Denmark, Teutonic Campaign) and when i looked at the building browser it said the only way to get the Goteland footman is with the swordsmith guild. Even in the plain game i've found it hard to get, the only two regions i know of that i've consistently seen a swordsmith guild is Nottingham (England) and Bran (Hungary). Any tips?

Train sword melee infantry and built blacksmith building line. Eventually you should get an offer for a swordsmith guild.

I'll give it a shot!

Keep recruiting dismounted feudal knights over and over. Eventually you'll get it offered to you

If I understand guild points correctly you will gain them for Swordsmiths by:
building mustering hall chain (what allows you to train infantry)
building blacksmith chain
training dismounted knights
retraining those knights and infantry

And make sure it's a castle.

Barracks chains don't have any triggers for swordsmiths guild but blacksmith chains do.

Not per se dismounted knights,. But very specifically melee infantry wielding a 1 handed or 2 handed sword. Everything else has no triggers for swordsmiths guild.

I don't know if retraining has any effect.

It doesn't matter if it's a castle or not, you can get it in both cities and castles, it's just that very few factions have units in cities that fall under the category of 'sword melee infantry'.
