I was reading a Byz guide at Gamespot.com.

This guide claims a couple of things that I understood to be false:

1. You can build Swiss Pikemen in Byzantium (the author suspected that this was some kind of bug).

2. Varangian guards are, contrary to popular belief, available in later eras (author starts in early I believe)

Surely these are not true?


Thanks,
