Maybe I have gone too far with te concept of "special troops only in your homelands" so it would be harder to expand for every faction, so I think I messed up somehow with the balance. That's a problem only with the pagan, muslim and orthodox factions since the catholics can train almost the whole feudal-chivalric chain of units on every province. On the 2.2 patch I will try to "expand" homelands for some medium units or make them buidable by faction regardless of the province. I will let the byzantines to train everywhere the skutatoi, byzantine cavalry,byzantine lancers, and byzantine infantry, but not the kontarioi, wich I will make available on every byzantine province (including the islands, the former byzantine province of naples, rum, lesser armenia, serbia and moldavia) that's because myself would train only kontarioi instead of skutatoi if I could.
I have been noticing that problems too, The byzantine just pass over the seljuks with their 9 star monster-generals.
As I said on a post before most of the stars of the byzantine titles will be gone on 2.2
as for the crusaders and armenians.
When playing with the seljuks, is problematic not to have access to reliable infantry on the conquered territories, so, I will expand saracen infantry to the territories mentioned, also khwarazmian swordsmen and khwarazmian cavalry. Also will make ghulam cavalry to be available on all provinces since "ghulam" means "slave" (a special kind) I think they shouldn't be arranged to a specific homeland, and that would help the Almohads and the Ayyubids as well.
As for the Ayyubids, I will add some more advanced training facilities on their starting provinces.
Thank you very much for your feedback and constructive criticism, that helps to make this a better mod. keep doing it please!
Cheers to all,
