Greek Phalangitai?

[Seneca]

The nees megistai yes, they are quite intimidating swarming around Rhodos and every other turn they dump a couple of stacks of freed slaves.

I'm just wondering why the KH shouldn't be able to build these, could I possibly pick up the skill if an FM captures say Alexandria and they are able to build it there?

You're just not megalomaniac enough.

Edit: ownership romans_brutii, numidia, macedon, romans_julii, thrace, greek_cities

You should be able to get them. Probably need to capture a successor capital. Did you try Pella or Ambrakia?

No, they are not subject to a reform. I guess the huge poliremes were not included for the KH because they are an expression of Imperial hubris as well as weapon. Not to mention that they are frightfully difficult to maintain, so you really need to have the resources of an empire to be able to afford them. The KH is not a empire, but a confederation of city states.

Oh, they do have access to them? I guess he doesn't have a military port of sufficient high level. You can't build those in many provinces, even if they do have capability for a military port.

Ambrakia, Pella, Rhodos, Antiocheia, Alexandreia, Charax, Capua and Atiqa, that are large ports I can think of right now. But I think team_kramnik is telling him how to mod them available to our thread starter's Arche Hellenikoi.

I thought maybe ships are bound to provinces like landunits. Rhodian ship in Rhodes etc.. But that does not normally seem to be the case.
On checking EDB:
recruit "generic ship navas" 0 requires factions { macedon, romans_julii, thrace, numidia, }

No Koinon doesn't get them. Well makes sense as they're the embodiment of the "my ship is bigger than yours" attidute of the successors. Fun thing is they're actually more cost-effective than quinquiremes.

Ambrakia and Rhodes are your best bets. You start with one and the other one ensures your victory in Hellas with its top level barracks.

In 217 BC they still haven't managed to grow a huge city and give me my precious phalangitai

Use the add population cheat.

Indirectly, they are bound to province. The ships you can recruit are determined by the level of military port, which is bound to provinces.
