Can you only get retinues with the Legacy of Rome DLC? If not, how do you get retinues? I've been playing for 150 years and I thought that I would have large enough levies to get retinues by now but nothing.

Why is the button there then? The button didn't mention anything about the DLC! Yo devs, if you're reading then add a little thing to the retinue tab tool tip that says it requires the DLC!

Yeah, a lot of the tooltips are broken, or out of date. Or so people have said, I don't use them.

But yeah, if you buy LoR you'll go into the Retinue tab and it'll show how many thousand troops of retinue you have. Except every thousand manpower = 500 troops, which is kinda weird. If you hover over the number, it'll tell you if you're at 1,535 manpower or 5409 manpower, so you'll be able to see when you can buy your next stack of 500.
