    Yeah, recruiting anything you can get in an emergency is OK. We have mentions of emergency recruitment in Sicily on a couple of occasions. In one case the troops were sent to Spain (Livy 35.2), in the other they were dismissed as soon as it was clear that Antiochos was not about to invade (Livy 35.23).

    The EB settlements representing Magna Graecia are Rhegion, Taras, Messana, and Syrakousai.

    I just realized that my last post was a bit misleading: I meant to say greek infantrymen. We have a specific reference to a Lucanian unit serving with the Roman army in 294 BC (Livy 10.33) and others at later times. Lucania is in EB's Brettia, so there's no reason not to recruit Lucanian and Bruttian units there. In Vanilla EB, these can be the normal Roman infantry units, or you could mod in recruitment of the Lucanian, Bruttian, and Samnite units. Recruiting cavalry in Rhegion and Taras is fine too.
