Hi,

when I upgraded to 1.1 and started a new campagin as Roman I couldn't "refill" units with new men, just upgrade their equipment. Neither could I merge two units. Is it supposed to be like that?

Another question: Why is it only the player faction that can build siege equipment the same turn the settlement is attacked?

Har du prövat att sätta igång scriptet?

English translation: Have you tried to activate the script?

Did the settlement in question have the unit you're trying to retrain as an option for recruitment? For example, if you're trying to retrain your triarii, you'll most likely have to go to Roma for that. Trying to retrain it in Capua would only grant you the upgraded equipment as you can't recruit triarii there.

About the siege weapons, no idea. I've noticed this too. Just something wrong with the game I suppose.

Right, now I understand. The unit size was for somed reason "small", but I thought my troops had been in a recent battle when the game begins and therefore underpowered...

Well, then it's time to start a new roman campaign. Don't know how many I've started and yet never finished one.

Is this actually something wrong? I always presumed they chose not to build them for whatever reason. I'm sure they have built some equipment the same year to me at least once

I think it is just a flaw of the game. Sometimes the AI manages to build siege equipment and attack on the turn they start a siege. A very annoying problem, especially if you are relying on relief armies.
