What, you aren't getting paid, bjmorgan? I just cashed my latest play-testers check this morning..[:D]

We get custom avatars!!!  Hey!! [;)]

A small symbolic recognition for hundreds of hours of playing the ga.... I mean work.
 
But, honestly, I appreciate it greatly.
 

Purchased Light Infantry upgrade and still no option to produce Rifle Infantry, so that isnt it:





Next step is to buy a level 8 barracks. My court in Anglia will be done in a few turns and I will put a bunch of development into it so I can get it done within a year or so.

So do the test. It only takes five minutes.

8 barracks and LI upgrade didnt work either.

Did something get broken with the patch? I built Rifle Infantry in singleplayer prepatch.

Are you playing the 1792 scenario?

From playing the 1805 scenario as france and britain I thought the rifle infantry requiements were level 7 baracks and the light infantry training upgrade. Plus level 4 courts for lancer.


I started the 1792 scenario as france built level 4 courts in paris and picked the light infantry training upgrade and only lancer show up in the purchase screen in paris.


So I think an upgrade that both britain and france have like skirmisher training??? in the 1805 scenario but don't have in the 1792 scenario is also a requiement for rifle infantry.

Those units look cheap compared to france in 1792-5. My infaltion rate is over 100%[X(]

At this point we need developer assistance. I cant just randomly figure out how to get it.

Actually both france and britain have the skirmisher training upgrade in 1792 also.

I'm totally stumped why it works in the 1805 scenario and not 1792.

Rifle infantry require barracks >=7, and also that the year be >= 1800.  Other units with date requirements:

Prussia can build landwehr after 1813
Austria can build landweh after 1808

I thought this was in the manual, but perhaps it didn't make it in there.  I'll make sure it gets in the in-game help in the next update.

That explains it. The time requirements for Landwehr I do see, but I dont see them for Rifle in the same section. Maybe I missed it in another spot in the documentation or maybe it didnt make it in at all.

Thanks.

As far as I can tell, Rifle infantry requires: barracks>=7 + light infantry training upgrade and lancers requies: barracks>=7 + light infantry training upgrade + courts >=4.

Not sure if LI upgrade is required or not as I havent tested it. The after 1800 requirement was the important part.
