Hey there, a thought recently crossed my mind (It didn't take it long [it didn't have far to go]): why do we have 2 seperate units for, among others, Peltastae, Toxotoi Kretikoi, and others (1 as a mercenary, one, well, not)
Would it be simple to simply erase the mercenary version and replace it with the standard version? because no new units are being created or anything, I'm guessing it would just be editing various text files.
I cannot see why, historically, a Mercenary Cretan Archer couldn't be retrained in Crete back to it's full potential.
This would make mercenaries a much more useful option, especially if you're playing as someione like epieros, who historically fielded very large mercenary armies. Plus, retraining would be able to be utilized.
