to make a soldier you need :

Sword
Shield
beer
peep

and they all must be in the same place
to make better soldiers, you pay your soldiers with coins from the mint, this get put inside the buildings automatically

Hi. I've read all of you so I see that you all are real "settlers"... I've got a problem with settlers IV... It's seems as if the trade ship doesn't work properly and I can't see what the problem is. Once I'd set the destination I set the amount of the good that should be carried to the other island but the ships don't move at all. I don't what's wrong because They had already transported some raw materials and tool before, but suddenly they stopped. I don't know wha's wrong... please, if you can advise me... thanx. [quote]

I am not sure whether the soldiers always return. I have had some times I ran out of soldiers, so I burned down some occupied military buildings in the regions were nothing was left, to let them return to my HQ/SH so they could occupy another building. But some of the times, they didn't return. If you burn down a building, they go wondering around for 5-10 minutes most of the time. This happens the most when a SH is (too) far away. One time, they do return, one other time, they die. I've did some research for this, I opened windows with the focus on the soldiers. Some of the times, after 5-10 minutes, when I gave it another look, I either saw a skeleton with the focus on it, or the focus was on a black spot on the edge of the map. These gave me to think not all soldiers return to a HQ/SH when you burn down a military building on purpose.

Well, you're making a mistake when you handle it that way.

To get new soldiers you are supposed to make new weapons.
Gather iron ore and coal. Build an iron smelter where he makes steel from iron ore and coal.
You need to have an armory as well. He again crafts arms and shields out of ore and steel.

These are delivered to the hq and indefinite helpers turn into soldiers if there is a need for them.

Yeah, I know the way to make new soldiers. I've already completed the World Campaign. But this was just something I was not sure about. In some very large maps with a lot of opponents, it could happen that after a long while, all iron and/or coal sources are depleted, and thus you can't create new soldiers.

So, I burned down some military buildings, but not all soldiers returned to a HQ/SH.

If you destroy the barracks around roads of your own, you are sure that they will come back. If you destroy too many barracks at the same time and that some of them wander off and can't find a road back to your castle then there is a good chance that you will lose some of them.

[Frenkieee]

I've been doing some experimenting and this indeed seems to be the case. Burning down one building at a time does seem to help.

I also experienced more returning soldiers when there was a SH in a relatively short distance. The further away the nearest SH was, the less soldiers returned to it.

Sorry, but you cannot get it legally for free. You need to wait until no store will be selling it. Please do not make a request for it on Abandonia. Thanks!
