CA, please add DLC units into garrisons. I dont care if it's for DLC owners or for everyone... but surely it's a win win for everyone. Players with the DLC get more interesting garrisons and players without the DLC getting a small taste of the new units and are more likely to buy the DLC

Indeed, more variety in those garnisons would clearly be appreciated.

agreed, no reason not to

Would also give some units like the empire archers an actual usecase

There's a ton of units which basically never get recruited which you'd actually use a lot more. Would make the game so much more fun both in terms of variety, but also utilising all the assets CA worked hard to bring into the game.

Upvote and hopefully CA will notice!

The problem of that is bad balancing and a lack of armybuilding rules. Why use your limited slots on weaker units if you can have stronger units instead and money ceases to be a problem about 20 turns in?

What does this have to do with garrisons? Better garrison variety is surely always a plus?

CA, please consider making custom garrison building for each settlement. Maybe, a garrison that draws recruits from buildings already constructed (so, basic growth economic buildings adding basic units, advanced military giving advanced units and DLC units etc WHEN you construct garrison building only). Or, a building with a maximum set budget that lets us select the units we want.

This comes with pros and cons. Main pro is it gives player more autonomy and requires more strategic building construction.

Down sides is it would involve a lot more work than just tweaking the units in the garrison and also you could end up in the same scenario where you end up using the same units over and over again

Well, you won't be constructing garrison everywhere anyway. I only defend key positions, where I want the AI to focus their attacks. So, that's not an issue.

Don't the current garrisons use the same units over and over, probably causing issues in the late game?

They do but what i meant is the current garrison chooses your units for you so you're forced to use units you may not have recruited. but if you can build your own garrisons, you might end up recruiting the same units which you recruit for your armies and further accentuate this issue.

Archers are great.

They are cheap a don't need special building to recruit.

Early game:

3 archers cost rougly like 2 crossbowmens and with one free building slot you can make enough money to pay for 3 more. 

I'd love more ways for people to use DLC units. Having DLC units in a garrison allows people a "free trial" to see if they like them and might convince them to buy the DLC.

Do it CA it's time

If anything it would provide an incentive for people to buy the DLC's after they played with the cool DLC units in sieges and want more of the same.

I never use them. I can get crossbowmen really fast, and it's not an economy problem to use them instead of the cheaper archers.

They're good for like the 1st 10 - 15 turns of the campaign, after that just use Crossbows or Handgunners. 120 range is terrible, they need 140 range minimum.

Better idea, crossbowmen should have the same shooting arc as gunpowder units and much longer reload times. That way they'd actually be notably dfferent from an archer unit.
