While playing in the campaign map, I will use accensi and velites in Italy and the vicinity of Italy. However, as I move farther away from Italy, and, my Romanii skirmishers take losses... then I recruit local skirmishers.

My expansion outside Italy runs a lot faster than the historical roman expansion. During the polybian era my troops were fighting around the Baltic Sea, the Crimea, and westernmost Africa. When the Romans ventured that far away from Rome, they relied on local skirmishers... though of course, it took them a bit more time to get there.

So, I am left with three choices: don't expand as fast, use velites and accensi in very far away posts where you have no recruiting grounds (not historical), or, recruit local skirmishers in distant regions (like the Romans did when they got that far, during the Marian and Imperial period).
