Because of this regional barracks are more important, and type III and IV governments allow higher levels of the regional barracks. Furthermore, certain provinces offer good high-level regional units that make it worth keeping them as a type III/IV. For the Romans, the prime example would be the Brihentin cavalry (check the recruitment viewer: IIRC it's available in a couple of Celtic provinces).
Ah, OK, ignore my comments about government then, at least when dealing with the Romans.

So far, though, it's been addfing a level of uncertainty that I like.
You'll need https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=112360 and maybe https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...-MINI-MOD-PACK! then. The latter isn't save compatible though.

And thanks, I like to think I'm a fairly reasonable person. And yes, I saw the Atlantis request. I lol'd. Maybe Rifts: Total War? :Grin:
No problem. I compliment people who deserve it, hard though some particular members of the forum may find it hard to believe.
