African Elite Infatry

Hey guys,

How is it going?

I was wondering, I built in Carthage the latest barracks that said it would give me Iberian Assualt and African Elite. Yet when it was completed I got NOTHING! Can anyone help? Does it need to be in Spain or do I need reforms?

Cheers,

Alski

You need the reform...

-At least year 235BC
-Build at least 5 (L5 regional MIC)(royal_barracks_V1) in these cities (Lepki, Garama, Adrumeto, Kirtan, Ippone, Tuat, Siga, Lixus, Sala, Gader, Mastia, Sucum-Murgi, Baikor, Arsé, Oxtraca, Numantia, Emporion, Tyde, Pallantia, Vellika, Tolosa, Massalia, Segesta, Arretium, Ariminum, Roma, Capua, Arpi, Taras, Rhegion)
-Hold 3 of these cities (Tolosa, Massalia, Segesta, Arretium, Ariminum, Roma, Capua, Arpi, Taras, Emporion, Arse, Mastia, Gader)
OR
-Wait until 200BC

Those are the regional barracks, you'll need gov IV...

On a side note, these reforms are really tedious and pointless in 1.2 because there are no units that you need a lvl 5 barracks for to recruit. So basically you are just building them for your reforms and wasting 15 turns and 15k each for.

Agreed. For Carthage reforms, I recommend just being patient and waiting until 200 BC. You have plenty of good unit types even without the reforms, anyway.

Isn't it so that Kart'Hadast has some privilege as to which gov is needed for the regional barracks? I might remember wrong, it's years since I last played them.

It does not :P

I'll take your word for it. I wonder, though, where I got that impression from.

Edit: I just had a look and now I know where that thought came from. The Poeni can reach lvl 4 native barracks with a gov lvl 2, whereas other faction would need a lvl 3 or 4 gov. It doesn't help at all for level 5 barracks, though.
