    Question Making Epeiros able to recruit Massilian hoplites in Massalia

    I'm hoping this one is relatively straightforward. I'm thinking about a new migrated faction game (playing with Epeiros-as-Massalia), but it will be rather strange not being able to recruit the iconic Massalian unit. At present Koinon Hellenon can recruit them there (along with Aedui and Arverni).

    I could just use the console to spawn some of the mercenary units whenever I would want to recruit and delete the appropriate money with a negative add_money, but that's not the most elegant of solutions. And it messes up the financial calculations too.

    So I think I need to change the ownership in the EDU and the EDB (add thrace to both).

    EDU change is easy.

    EBD I see this line three times:

    recruit "hellenistic infantry massiloi hoplitai" 0 requires factions { greek_cities, } and hidden_resource NW and hidden_resource A and hidden_resource n1 and hidden_resource y2 and hidden_resource n4 and hidden_resource n8
    If I add thrace after greek_cities, will that make them recruitable?

    Do I need to do something with telling it what model to use as well? EDIT: Checking out this thread, I think I need a texture and unit card (both of which I can copy).

    Hmmm, this was simple until I got to the descr_model_battle.txt and discover the slot I'd want for the Massilians is used by Epeiros as hypaspistai. Now while I never use them (can't without a type I government), that's possibly in dangerous territory removing them. Files are backed up, let's see what happens.
