seem to build a faction MIC in this city, despite having build Type I or II
government (whatever highest allowed in Camillian times).

In Naissus, I right-clicked the local MIC and didn't even bother
building one cause the info page said I'd be getting apeleutheroi too.
I just conquered this city last night so haven't built the government
yet, so not sure if I can build faction MIC here.


So you're saying that it is possible to have better "more elite"
units even without the presence of less experienced, cheaper
local ones? I'm just imagining a scenario of upgrading
local MICs up 4-5 levels to be able to recruit Chaonion Agemata while
not being able to recruit Hoplitai Haploi in the lower MIC levels...

Within the scope of the game itself, it makes it hard
to know when to upgrade local MICs or not. It's no big deal
though, cause I have yet to try the recruitment viewer and there's
always this forum.

Anyway, with all my rambling aside... if you've played as
Romani in 1.1, what do you recomment building in Mediolanum and
Naissus to be able to recruit units?
