    furthermore maybe a kind of lather could be created for specific units like to hire a classical hoplite one would have to disband/upgrade an hoploi unit with x amount of chevrons

    to get peztharoi one would have to disband/upgrade a unit of levypikeman and for argaspydes (or whatever their name) disband/upgrade a unit of pheztaroi

    hastati ==> princeps ==> triari

    both historical correct and great for roleplaying imho
    That's not really how it works...

    The difference between Levy Hoplites and regular hoplites is equipment/wealth, basically. Same with the phalanxes you mentioned, as well as the Roman troops, though experience would apply more in that case.

    thats true for hoplites indeed (but nothing like roleplaying royal grants of land to the best experienced troops)

    as for roman´s i believe the wealth diference was beteween the rorari leves etc and the hastati princeps and triarii where the later had to go up in this type of lather (?) the triarii where the most experienced troops in a legion (older) and the hastati the youngest one´s (youngest)

    anyway this sistem could put a cap on the "true" elites (trully nobles by making it a % of the total population) and a way to make it harder for someone to drill up an army of pure hardened quasi elite troops (trokithai)

    They're using recruitment pools for that, though. Either they were thinking about it, or they already decided to implement it, can't remember which.
