My next game: Epeiros as Pergamon

[QuintusSertorius]

I just checked thr Recruitment Viewer and, indeed, there seems that Thorakitai aren't available for Epeiros, even though they are in their roster in the EB site!!!

Maybe you could use more of Taxeis Triballoi (regional MIC 4 in Tylis and Kallatis) and Celtohellenikoi Hoplitai from Ankyra (when you decide to conquer it).

Celto-Hellenics are the mainstay of my line, they flank the hoplites in the centre. I can recruit them in Nikaia as well as Tylis. Should I be thinking about replacing my hoplites with them instead?

I'm quite attached to the hoplites, mostly because of their brilliant morale and good armour. I'm looking forward to being able to recruit Agrianians soon.

Something to bear in mind when comparing with the Epirote roster: I can't build homeland governments in any of the regions I hold, or can expand into. Type II is my best option. Usually I go with type III initially to build up my regional barracks, then switch to Type II later. Yeah it's a bit of an exploit to retain higher-level regional barracks, but I paid for them.
