近卫军

The Retinues tab under the Military screen

近卫军 是一类供给每位君主组建常备军的部队。启用该机制需要 罗马遗产 DLC。不同于征召兵的是，近卫军在宣战前无须被解散。

建军者须支付定额费用来招募近卫军。除此之外，他们还占用以月计数的维护成本；并且，在他们被补充至满员的过程中，这一费用还会加贵。

当修道士与密契者DLC启用时，军事总管可被委派一项相关任务，从而降低近卫军的月度维护成本。

Retinue cap

Each ruler can only have a retinue of a limited size, dependent on their retinue cap. Different troop types take up differently-sized portions of the cap, with more powerful types (such as heavy cavalry) using more.

The retinue cap is given by the formula:

Retinue cap = (Rank * RealmHoldings + BuildingBonus) * (1 + 1.5 * MilitaryOrganizationTech)

where:

• Rank is 2 for Counts, 3 for Dukes, 4 for Kings and 5 for Emperors.
• RealmHoldings is the number of holdings in the realm.
• BuildingBonus comes from specific buildings:
  • Training Grounds in a Castle give 20 cap per level.
  • Garrisons in a trade post give 20, 30 and 50 retinue cap at each level. This applies to the patrician that controls the trade post, not the ruler of the province where it is built.
  • The Silk Road Trade Office building, built in Silk Road Trade Posts, gives 50, 100, and 150 retinue cap for each level. This applies to the owner of the trade post.
  • The Military Warehouse buildings in a patrician's Family Palace give 200, 400 and 600 retinue cap.
• MilitaryOrganizationTech is the Military Organization technology in the ruler's capital.

If a retinue unit is completely wiped out (i.e. all members killed in battle) then it will be disbanded and the retinue cap usage will be decreased by the amount that had been used by the now-destroyed retinue unit.

Reinforcement

A purchased regiment starts out with a single man and gradually reinforces up to full capacity. If the retinue takes casualties, each regiment will reinforce continually until they are back to full strength.

If a ruler cannot afford the (sometimes steep) cost, reinforcement can be halved or stopped completely on the retinue tab:

• normal reinforcement rate: 2.5% per month.
• half reinforcement rate: 1.2% per month.
• no reinforcement.

At 2.5% per month, a retinue nominally takes 40 months to fill. It may be slightly faster due to rounding.

List of retinues

Retinue regiments can be divided into three types:

• Generic retinues are available to all rulers except tribal rulers.
• Cultural retinues are specific to the ruler's culture.
• Tribal retinues are exclusive to tribal goverments.

Tribal retinues

As of patch 3.0, the mechanic of prestige based tribal retinues has replaced the option to "Raise tribal army". Tribal retinues do not require .

These retinues are available if you use a tribal government and cost prestige instead of Gold. There are also retinues with piety costs available to defensive pagans.

Strategies

Using retinues for combat

By letting you control army composition, retinues can easily beat a messy levy army that has the same total "cost". The key is to choose an army composition that lets you:

• Excel at one combat phase, and control phases to your advantage.
• Excel at one combat tactic in each phase, and ensure the tactic is chosen.
• Appoint a commander whose combat specialization and cultural tactic matches your forces.

When combining retinues with levies, always keep them on separate flanks to avoid polluting the retinue's tactics. A popular choice is retinues in the center and levies on the sides.

Another approach is to engage the enemy first with pure cavalry (likely to roll a Charge tactic), then follow with another army as combat quickly enters the melee phase.

Using retinues for siege

An army of pikemen is great at assaulting holdings (computed as melee).

An army of light infantry is best for carpet sieges and discouraging rebellion, since it is the cheapest per soldier.

Beware of unreformed Pagan provinces, where attrition can be extremely high (unless you have Military Organization level 4). When fighting a war on their lands, assaulting walls may cost less troop losses than attempting to siege.

Using retinues for raiding

This strategy is better suited for tribal rulers, as their retinues cost Prestige. Using retinues to supplement a raiding party can make raiding faster and opens possibilities for sacking holdings.
