You can't unless it's a type of unit that you can produce. For instance, only Roman factions can bribe and adopt Roman legions. Eastern infantry and other, well, lousy units are shared by a lot of civilizations. Hardly any good units are.Quote:

Think 'same tech tree'.Quote:

There are others, I just can't rattle them off right now.
Nice feature!

on the bribing screen, one can actually read which units of the bribable army will disband, which ones will join your forces.
wait but can u bribe mercs? I tried but they left.
I not sure on mercs... Normally then disappear, but I have had a few occasions where they have joined my faction.... Don't know what the difference was...
In my opinion, bribes are too easy and too cheap. im pretty sure that i could have bought my way thorough both roman campaigns ive played. the temptation to simply bribe inbound armies (and cities) is hard to control, but i feel it is need to keep the game rome:total war and not rome:total econ.
Cataphracts are a great unit to bribe from the local factions if you're playing as the Seleucids, Parthians, etc... :charge:
