Where can I recruit Klerouchoi Phalangitai and Thureopherontes Toxotai for Pontos?

When does the bodyguard turn from early to late type?

thanks

P.S. It's me or the pontos campaign is easier with EB 1.0?

Check the recruitment viewer.

BD's will reform with the vannila marians, ie, when a city in Italy other then rome becomes huge.

It is much easier. The issue is that whereas before a lot of people thought the bodyguard was too weak (I was not one of them) now people think the bodyguard is too strong. I remember in another thread someone from the EB team saying that the Pontic bodyguard has been reduced for the next version.

As for your other questions, I don't know. I'm at 218 BC in my Pontic campaign right now, and I still have the Persian bodyguards.

Goolasso, be carefull about those Thureophorontes Toxotai, Pontus needs a level 3 factional MIC for them but for that, you need a type 2 government, because Pontic and Armenian Type 3 and 4 governments only allow for the first level of factional MICs. Pretty unhistorically that you have to put up a persian satrapy in the Crimea, instead of a much more likely prohellenic satrapy. Perhaps this will be changed in 1.1.
