Confusion on units, please help

[Invisinerd]

I was reading a post by a fellow who has gathered a group of black khergit raiders for his army. I have thought about this and tried to find out how to recruit units like black khergits and sea raiders but I can't figure it out. Am I missing something here? Any help would be apreciated.

Most likely he was playing the Magnificent 7 mod, which adds quite a bit to the game including recruitable bandits.

Or you might find them taken as prisoner of another group, and if you defeat that group, then they can join your party.
That's how i had Sea raider with me once.

Right, in vanilla M&B, the only way to get sea raiders, dark knights, etc is if they are already prisoner to another party. Mag7 will let you join the bandits and then you can recruit them.

It's extremely hard in the vanilla version to find those troops, especialy black knights and khergits as prisoners. Get the mag7 mod, it's great, and you can use more than one mod (put the fiels into your modules folder inside your mount&blade folder and on the automenu you can select wich mod you want to use. You will have to start a new game thoguh.
