Well, I was thinking more along the lines of the Galatians or the Yuehzi but your in the right direction.:idea2:

Concerning recruitment pools, you could have hastati triarii and princepes regenarting at different rates, meaning that the historic ratio could be similar to what it was, and they could be a similar upkeep. Is there a global unit limit feature? That would help stop the AI building up huge armies of elites

The Roman had their tumultus gallicus mass mobilization. It fits with the Jihad/Apache warpath.

The Pahlava/Pontus/Hayasdan factions could have used something akin to a Jihad in their effort to fight and reconquer the old Persian Empire. And the Successors states had their "let's reconquer Alexander's empire" phases.

But gameplay wise, it's must be a headache to adjust.

I don't wanna fight a Grey death with Jihad capacity.

Precisely. The issue wasn't even gathering the manpower and equipment in one place at one time - it was training the maniples to be able to function as part of a legion in large-scale maneuver that took months.

I thought the Jihad required that a "muslim" culture has held the province at some time, whereas the war path can have any target?

They are exactly the same mechanic. Both allow only provinces with the jihad hidden resource to be targeted.
