How to add the homeland resource to provinces?

[roman dude]

Hello, this is my first post here. I have been playing EB for a few months and I absolutely love it, but I was thinking about changing a few things to spice the experience up a bit. I know it's totally a-historical (and totally unrealistic), but it would be fun to be able to recruit Praetorian guard units in Sarmatia, for example, or Ptolemaic Elite Phalanxes in Rome. It would save me the trouble of always having to take my best army trudging back to a home province after a few battles to retrain and would make it much more common to fight an army of another faction's best units, which I find more fun than fighting wave upon wave of low-level units.

So anyway, does anyone know of a way to make every province on the map a homeland province for all factions with all of the faction's native units recruitable there? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Why not just ship reinforcements to the frontier?

Heavy handed editing of the campaign script. It is not save game compatible.

Also: if you do it wrong you stand to risk a defunct EB installation; so backup first. Additionally do not expect tech support for a build which is ‘tainted’ by editing the CS.

Actually, I believe it could be done without messing with the campaign script. Theoretically, one could use the genericScript to add the "homeland" building to a particular province of an already started game, without any major risks.

However, that is beside the point, as government types only determine what kind of buildings you can build in a given region, not the units you can recruit. Unit recruitment is controlled by a completely different mechanism. As Centurio Nixalsverdrus said, there are a number of threads in the Unofficial Submods Forum explaining how to modify recruitment.

1. EB re create what did you (as the governing power of certain faction in question) face in real life, because even after 100 year of conquest, the native people still mistrust much of you, and you must either rely on local low class troops, and must import your crack elite from far away

2. But for some reason some "middle class" troops should be available anywhere, such as Hoplite, maybe in EB 2 the situation is better.

I dont really have problems with it, I can still manage to defeat the Carthies as Baktria for example with quite decent armies...

I know this post did not help you at all...

No, you fight with army the Devs gave you,or import them, fighting with local hellenic or barbarian army as Romani, is terrific.

Which faction are you playing with? I guess not a hellenic faction or the Romani...

It's pretty boring unless you can only recruit your factional troops from homeland regions.

That factor makes the whole thing more challenging.
