MIC's and government buildings, newb ?'s

[burn_again]

1)Does this change at all as the years advance, meaning will I have to relook to see if a city that had the "alliance" building, now has the "subjugation" building? Or does this "building" stay the same throughout the game?

5)I'm mainly going to be building roman units, with some supporting archers and such. Is a regional 2 MIC good enough to get the best archers/supporting-troops? For example, when I take crete, do I have to put a high number government to get the high level regional MIC to get the best archers or can I still get good archers with a lower regional MIC?

1) AFAIK this changes only for the Pahlava and Hayasdan through reforms, not for the Romans.

5) Have a look at the recruitment viewer or Konny's Roman Unit Guide: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=93896

5) For Konny's Roman Unit Guide: The black dots to the left of the unit picture tell you what number local baracks you need? So if there is two dots, then you can have a level 1 government with a level 2 local MIC to be able to build it?

Basically yes, but I don't know if he took the pictures from the old recruitment viewer which is slightly outdated.

The fastest way to find out what you can recruit where is probably to use cheats like add_money and process_cq to test it, then decide what to build and reload.

Good idea about using the cheats.

As the Romans, it doesn't matter what period/reforms has happened when it comes to local troops, correct? Or is that selection tied into the period/reforms for the Romans or another factions reforms?

Yeah, locals are not affected by reforms. It is just that after the Marian reforms you will probably want more lvl2 govs because you can recruit factional troops there instead of locals.

No, reforms for local troops dont matter. For example, Romans can recruit Brihentin in year 250 while the Gauls would have to wait til the time of Soldiers reform, probably more around 230 or so.
