A few more questions

[Fondor_Yards]

1. Is there a way to increase the money you make from farming? Carthage and others historicaly made huge profits from farming, but in game you get almost nothing from farms income wise.

2. Iberi Lanceari have better attack and better defense then Sacred Band. I know they were good, but that doesn't seem right.

3. Sacred Band Cavalry don't use the 2handed kontos animation, but still use the kontos. Is this on purpose, it looks really weird them holding 4 meter long spear with 1 hand.

4. Eqvites Extraordinarii are better then Kleruchoi Agema Hippies and Hippeis Thessalikoi. Again, is that on purpose? I think the best greek cavalry and the best greek and macedonian immigrant cavalry would be better then the best italian cavalry.

5. What exactly is the esparto fiber armour the Ambakaro wear? Some form of bridgine armour?

6. Shouldn't you be able to recruit Iberian Assault Infantry in Bocchoris too, since according to their describtion, they were Iberian and Balearic troops.

I'd also be very interested in the answers to these questions, and I also have one of my own, concerning recruitment. Will Sardina and Corsica get a recruitment boost later on? As far as recruiting goes, they're nearly worthless.

They are both going to get some more units. We are on to this, don't worry.

So far as the other questions go, Qarthadastim power lay in its commerce, not agriculture.

Ibeari Lanceari WERE that good. Also Equites Extraordianrii, to my detriment.

For the other questions I will have to refer you to Iberia experts.

Well while we wait for the iberians, what happened to the Saka being able to recruit Cataphracts? Was it because they were just really rare, so only general have them as their guard?

Btw, do estates give bonus to farming income?

[Tellos Athenaios]

I believe, estates give both a population growth boost and a trade boost.

Well, it so happens that we have a LOT of things in store for the Saka, and to cut a long story short you WILL be able to recruit Saka catas in the future. You will need them to survive some other units we are preparing. :yes: Not much more I can say, sorry, I have said enough already.

Between the new half indian units, the new noble hoplite unit, and Baktria's super god incarnate late general guard, and between a soon to be massively revamped parthia, I suspect your right.

A lot of trade income is actually from agricultural products, so that portion should really be considered 'farming' income. We also have a farming script in the works, but that is probably a long way off.
