i was playing french on the silk road map lrg silk road map actualy and i was able to build hackapels out of my sallon i won the game and i thought is was just amazing that they had an attack of 121 so i played again same civ and same map but NO HACKAPELS............ how do i get them again????

its random every time but i think u can send them from ur HC with some civs

i'm not sure, but i think what you get on the sallon depends on the map you are

hackapells are basically super uhlans though. they have super attack, but quite low hitpoints. You probably dont want to use them as a majority of your cavalry force, or they'll get owned pretty quickly.  

all mercs from your sallon is dependent on what map you are on, except the outlaws, they are every map.

In every game, you will be able to train two different mercenaries out of your saloon; every game, regardless of the map, has different mercenaries.

Outlaws are map-specific, for example, Renegados and Pistoleros appear on Carolina, but Renegados and Comancheros are on great plains.

 

P.S. Hackapells are bad vs nearly any type of infantry compared to other heavy cavalry units except maybe Cassadores..

lol, totally wrong, mercs are always random, outlaws depend on the map you are.

totally right. 

mercs are always random, but I found that hackapells, stradiots, and elmetti are all very similar. The hackapell does 121 damage with low HP, the stradiot does like 60 damage with around 600 HP, and the elmetti does 40 damage with 1000 HP, mamelukes have even more HP, don't know about attack. My point, if you dont get hackapells, use stradiots or elmetti, or mamelukes. One thing about the outlaws though, whats up with repentant horseman. they do 11 base damage time 3 against cavalry, 240 HP, and they take up 5 population slots, whats the deal with that??

the guy is new it won't hurt him if someone tells him a few things that more experienced players already know but he doesn't

still lol, whats the point on posting in a thread that was done in february...

Hackapels are basically a suped up Uhlan.  They are worthless in any type of fight that has anti-cav.  They are only really good vs Villies, RI, LI, and artillery.

You may be able to get a shipment of them from your HC depending on your civ, but saloon mercs are always random.  Outlaws are always the same on each type of map though.
