First of all, thank you for this great mod! I have already looked for some help concerning units and their required buildings. I found a unit guide in the gameplay section, but that was for an older version and it does not contain the new units and their prerequisites.

So how do I know which of the govenor buildings: homeland, provincial etc., I have to build in order to get specific auxilla units. I started as Macedonia and would like to build Thracian units, like the Thracian Peltasts or Elite Thracian Infantry. Is there any other guide which I haven't found yet or can someone point me out how I have to plan ahead to get those units later.

Thanks

You can combine the Units Cards and the Building Trees, which are in your documentation folder (inside EB).

First, you use the Unit Cards to see which units you want to have. In the respective cards you'll see which building and (in the back side) which regions you can recruit those units.

Then, you get the factional building tree and see the requirements for that building. This is specially useful with the nomad factions, which have very complicated building trees.

Hope this helps.

They do. But don't wanna list all units a faction can get on the website. Would be 150+ for each.

Maks can only get them if they seize the Seleukid & Ptolemaic provinces in Asia & Egypt.

I know the Makedonians get the Thrakina units from their factional MIC, or at least they did in .81a. The team probably did not change that.
However, you need to build a lvl four MIC to have access to them. Probably a lvl five for the Rhomphaiaoroi.

I know that in Serdike and Tylis I could get the following from a lvl 4 MIC:
Agrianikoi Pelekophoroi
Thraikoi Peltastai
Thraikoi Podromoi
Thraikoi Hippies



the Elite Thraikian Infantry is probably only available at a lvl five MIC.
However, note that Taxeis Triballoi are not general Thraikians, but a specific tribe, so they can only be aquired through a Regional MIC lvl 4. I know that you can get them in Naisoss, but I dont know where else. I kind of remember that someone said you could get them in Tylis and Byzantion, but I have no idea. and considering Tylis is a homeland government Id advise to go with the Thraikians instead.

Hopefully, something like this will be available in a relatively short time. Unfortunately, I can't right guides for every faction, as I feel I'm only qualified to write about a few (KH, Qarthadastim, Baktria, Sabyn, and maybe a few others).

That's why I'm looking for help from the community. If you feel you've got a good grasp of a certain faction (those listed above included, as I have other things I would like to focus, mostly involving EB gameplay and why it can be so confusing (and sometimes overwhelming) to newer players.

If you do decide to write a guide, please post a link to it in the '1.0 Game Guide Index Thread' in the EB Gameguide and AAR' sub-forum, and I'll see that they're included in the final 'manual' under your name.

Thanks for your time, and I hope to read some great faction guides (or even non-faction specific guides)in the next few months.
