I don't know if this topic was mentioned before. But the situations is as follows:
I am playing the Romans. Playing at VH / VH.
I captured a city (Gergovia) from my enemies and developed it up to a large city and so on. But the city was somewhat out of reach and I felt overstretched maintaining it. I wanted to build up my homeland first (the whole boot of Italy) and keep only the borders fully defended and replenished. Then I gave the City to my allies but later on it was recaptured by my enemies (Carthage). Now after some time the City revolted and choose my side. It became a Roman city again.
I checked out the defending army and I saw allot of freed slaves and some other gaulish , celtic units fully upgraded and everything gold etc..
Some of these units are currently far better then my own troops I carefully trained and upgraded with 1, 2 or 3 bronze chevrons in experience. I want to do that myself fighting battles, retraining and upgrading them.
Why are the freed slaves and some troops so fully upgraded ? Even a freed slave group can hold the line long enough to do an hammer and anvil on their attackers. I don't really like that. I know I can disband them but to disband a fully upgraded good unit is abit silly. But how can I prevent this from happening. I don't mind a revolt but not the strong units.
Any Ideas ?
