Welcome to forums Viriathus!

Quite the same what other posters have answered already

1. Because RTW game engine doesn't make recruitment limits possible like MTW2 does it would be enormously ahistorical to have elites in great numbers during early game when most factions either didn't have those or their numbers would have been around 100-200 men. Spartan hoplites and successor's hypaspistai and hetaroi being good examples first ones numbers had diminished and latter had been split up between antigonid's, ptolemy's and seleucid's (and dwindled by diadochi's infighting).

2. No recruitment limits?

3. Throughly punic nature of those settlements with no lusitani related population prior to conquest.

4. Copy mp game edu backup from your EB folder to sp game edu backup folder (placing singleplayer edu to seperate folder there so those files won't be overwritten).
