Thread: Staring recruitment issue

    Default Staring recruitment issue

    This is probably a small thing, but it seems silly to me that you have a lot of units at the start that you can't straight away train. Is there a possibility of having at least one province for every faction that can start to train good units from the get-go?

    It seems silly that in 272 the greatest army Macedon could field would be poor Phalagites and no cavalry.

    I think the game will be a really boring if you can train the best units at the beginning of a game.

    Why?
    Oh, and also the Roman and Seleucid flags seem to be switched.

    Well you wouldn't be able to recruit them anyway since at the start of a campaign you can't even afford to recruit your crappest units... Also having every unit available to your faction available right at the start of a campaign is boring as hell after 50 turns... If you can recruit every unit available to your faction then you're never going to get the chance to use lower class units because all you will ever recruit are the absolute best troops you can which will make campaigns easy as hell

    Well, some of the unit scaling in EB makes your best units work better as a small part of your force.
