AOR

Love playing EB - just a question/comment. Shouldn't the AOR of recruitment for factional troops be expanded well beyond the borders of where they historically were located? If an area was over run it is likely that the new invading culture would heavily influence the local culture (as with Roman Britain). e.g. if the Casse had dominated Britain, invaded the mainland and destroyed Rome then would it not have been likely that their culture would become predominate (and so you would be getting Romans fighting in the Celtic tradition)?

"What if's" can open a door to so many options that EB can't possibly cover them. Because of this, the EB team tries to keep with only that which occured historically...

If you really want to recruit factional troops anywhere you can construct a suitable government building, just remove all the "hidden resource x, y, z" things from the EDB for the preferred units. I did such a thing for the Aedui, and now I'm attacking the AS from Hyrkania, Baktria, Armenia, Asia Minor, and Syria. It does somewhat defeat the purpose of regional recruitment, but I do enjoy seeing my Gaesatae chopping cataphracts to pieces.
