Note: this almost certainly oversteps the purely historical basis of EB, but since the whole purpose of the game is to rule and expand your empire as you see fit, this still may be a worthwhile idea.
We all know that every faction is deficient in at least one unit type, as that faction simply never developed it. But you as the player not necessarily beholden to the decisions made by historical figures. How about if Carthage wanted to develop cavalry archers (just as an example), they could build a massively expensive and time-consuming "building" (something on the order of a major dock expansion) as a marker to unlock recruitment of the desired unit type? Hell, the building itself could provide the recruitment in the EDB. If certain generic unit models could be used universally, would this be a worthwhile idea to consider? Too fanciful?
