Quick question about type 4

[MerlinusCDXX]

As opposed to what, Type III governments? You can't move family members into settlements with Type IV govts. without a hit to public order, which can be an issue when you have an ill-feeling general just come back from an arduous campaign.

Also, the Allied Generals, which you recruit to govern settlements with Type IV govts., can have some ridiculous upkeeps (around 1,000 mnai for the Hellenic general).

That's why the Celtic lands seem to be tailor-made for typeIV governments. Their recruitable generals are very reasonably priced (on the upkeep end), about what you'd pay a unit of elite infantry. Also, the upkeep on the Greek and Eastern merc generals does fall in line with what you'd pay for a Hellenistic(Hetairoi) or Persian(Grivpanvar) top-end elite cavalry unit, though the Greek merc general is a bit overpriced, since it's equivalent to Lonchphoroi (Tier4). The Eastern one actually earns its 1100 per turn though, since they are the BG versoin of Grivpanvar(Tier5).
