Yes, you can recruit them. For you it's much easier to sail there since you own the Trireis fleet!

Here you can find my answer.

Delicious army? Are you planning to eat them!

Really? I thought it would have come under the control of Ash.

Trireis were recruited with private funds. Upkeep is payed using the private funds. That makes it a private unit. Since you payed the initial 1500 mnai and are named in the Law E1.2 then you will control/own that fleet. Whether you allow Ash to use it is up to you.

Keep in mind that the entire council pays for its upkeep and will be understandably upset if you start using it for transporting Cretan pottery to your estate. ;)

I'd be more interested in the archers than the pottery...

I'm going to find another partner for plan "overthrow Tyrranical Celtic Viking" if you can't keep quiet about our plans for bringing the army in in pots...
Next you'll be letting on about bringing the Thessalian cavalry hidden in rugs.

Where is our chancellor with that report, I've a battle to fight.
