Can't recruit Huntsman General?

[HunZolka]

Hey, in the recruit Lord menu there are no Huntsman generals in the roster, even though there were some in some of the factions I made a confederation with. They show up in the Armies menu as an inactive(currently inactive, unrecruited Lord). Not even the one I disbanded earlier myself shows up in the recruitable roster.

Is there some game mechanic I need for this, or something is wrong with my game?
That said, I am running a number of mods, but so far I haven't noticed any problems caused by them.

Do you have the DLC that adds huntsman generals (The hunter & the beast)? Otherwise you can't recruit them, only use the ones you get from a confederation.

I don't have that, didn't even realize it is supposed to be a DLC, considering they were already in my game. I guess it settles it, then. Just curious, would it (mess up/not show up in) an already ongoing game if I were to get the DLC now?

I'm kinda leaning toward giving it a try, but I'm not really in the mood to start an all-new Empire campaign just for this.

Every DLC unit/lord/hero/faction is in the game regardless if you have the DLC's or not and you can often try out many of the DLC units and the like if you get them through confederation (but you generally can't confederate the new legendary lords / factions without the DLC's they are added in).

I believe it works to add the DLC to a ongoing game, but make a spare save just in case things go buggy (if it does you can disable the DLC and reload the save, then enable the DLC once you are done with your current campaign).

AI factions have access to the DLC units and lords even if you don't have the DLC. Confederating other factions is a way of partially trying out DLC content without having it.
Buying the DLC won't cause any issues, you'll be able to recruit those DLC units and even confederate the DLC faction itself (assuming Markus is still alive).

Dont listen to this guy Huntsman Generals are amazing lords for monster like factions there is no limit to how much they can buff anti large dmg. Ignore this post in total! Huntsmans are good ranged lords!

They can snipe heros and lords during sieges. They rule, just like the Tunnel Snakes

They're better lords than the other empire lords for sure but the other empire lords aren't exactly but great in my opinion. Huntsman's generals are fine by me. But I mean't more it's probably not worth it to buy the dlc if his only intent was wanting the huntsman lord. Around $10 is a bit steep if he only wants the lord.

Well yes you are right i agree he does not miss much and they are not worth 10$ yes, but some units are, i mean its the game all that crap doesnt worth 1$ not 10$. But if he wants to buy then Huntsmans are good addition.
