    Like many of you I try to diversify as much as I can my legions by adding Exraordinarii, Samniti Milites and Hastati, Bruttians and Lucanian infantry, and the Hoplites , with my Camillan or Polybian Legions.

    What we need is an Eb mini mod.
    Cheers.
    The only way you could free up space in the Roman roster would be to remove the Camillian troops - that's six slots right away.

If their were unlimited unit spaces I'm possitive that EB would already have variation amongst the Italian allies, but we are stuck in the engine...

    Indeed, the old unit limitation. But as I said in the OP, I'm not disputing that, I'm just after ideas on what units I could use to get around that.

    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR
