But why isn't this in EB yet!

Because we haven't made it. Anyone who wants to write descriptions for buildings and what not that do not have them (and are willing to do the research), go ahead and take a crack at it. If we like it, we'll include it.

Recruitment areas that need to be addressed by more units:

Southern Italy:

Southern Italy will eventually have Italian units. Bruttians, Lucanians, Samnites et al. We know that the Romans can't recruit natives there yet, and we're working hard to address it.

Epirus:

The provinces north of epirus (Illyria and Noricum) will eventually have their own native units as well, Illyrians, Paionians, and Noricenes, for Epirus to recruit. Have patience. I need to find folks to skin said units. Until that happens, we can't add them :-)

If you want to ask a specific question regarding the recruitment or other incompleteness regarding the beta, I'll add it to this post, and then delete your reply (so that the thread doesn't become clogged).

Spartans:

We will have Spartan Hoplites! Don't despair! They won't be overpowered or 500 B.C.-ish, but they'll be there!

There will be balearic troops, there will be lusitanians (the iberian faction could be called the lusato/iberian faction, honestly... there will be a lot).

Cretans will be there, Rhodian slingers might be (but probably). There will be no camel units. Camel riders are rare, as rare as flaming pigs. There is some argument whether camel-riders even rode them into battle. Bedouins, for example, often rode camels to battle, but then switched to horses for the battle itself.

Yes, there will be a native Sardinian.

Is the recruitment system for Carthage also WIP? Because in some of their conquered provinces you're only able to recruit Iberian Velites (even with a MIC 5). Same thing with some of their starting provinces, Carali and Aleria I think (I forgot the EB names).

Also, I think the recruitment system for Baktria needs some fixes too because you're unable to recruit cathapracts in their homeland provinces but you can train them in Syracuse for instance.

Will there be Balearic slingers and new Iberian units like Lusitanians for example ?
Can I also add on my wishlist Cretan archers, Rhodian slingers, Garamantes, a Bedouin-camel-unit, will these guys be in ?
And the last one, will there be some natives troops from Corsica or Sardinia ?
Thanks

Everything thing is WIP, that's why it's a beta.

Most of those units will go in, probably not a camel unit though, they were only used very rarely and take up a lot of model slots for something that wasn't even heavily used by the Arabian nomads. Most often the Camel would be ridden to battle and in retreat but a horse would be used for actual combat.

Ah, I'm glad to hear the wonderful samnite mercs will soon be Localized units in Southern Italy.

What happened to the Chalkaspidai? They were previewed but they aren't in the open beta.... Admittingly, at least I can't find them in custom battle...

I think the unit was being remade. Don't worry, I think that unit is now completed. ;)

There are some units that don't have translated names, especially mercs, Carthaginians, and Yuezhi. Will their names be translated into a language eventually?

**Tanit** · 01-20-2006, 21:44

A couple of things that need to be adressed are native africans and sicilians.

Currently Carthage is recuiting spaniards in africa and sicily

and libyans in sicily, though i can sort of understand that.

Also, there are no native african units aside from numidians. What happened to african light infantry, tribal levies, moorish infantry and cavalry, libyan chariots

, and other such things. All i see in africa are numidians and greek mercenaries.

I would really love to see libyan chariot mercenaries if nothing else

Conventionally yes. Feel free to point the untranslated ones out, in case they were overlooked.

Okay, I've made a list of all of the untranlated or partially translated units that I know about. Many of the units are available to a lot of different factions. I've tried to arrange them by region or culture or type of unit.

Numidian Cavalry Placeholder
Numidian Javelinmen
Liby-Phoenician Heavy Infantry
Liby-Phoenician Infantry
Libyan Spearmen
Poeni Citizen Militia
Sacred Band Phalanx
Elite African Pikemen
Elite African Infantry
Carthaginian Citizen Cavalry
Sacred Band Cavalry

Iberian Assault Infantry
Almost all Iberian units have the word "Iberian" (example:Iberian Velites, Iberian Scutarii) in front of them. I don't know if that is the way it is supposed to be or if there is an ancient word for "Iberian".

All elephant units

germanic_infantry_fernharjoz

Aspet Cavalry
Kappadocian Cavalry
Pontic General

Machimoi Cavalry
Kleruchoi Agemata Cavalry

Indo-Greek Hoplite
Indian Longbowmen

Sampal Infantry
Subeshi Archers
Early Yuezhi Nobles

Hellenistic Kataphractoi

Chaeonian Guard

Repeating Ballistas

Maybe the "Galatian" in Galatian Kleruchoi and Kluddolon

Maybe the "Caledonian" in Caledonian Rhyfelwyr

Samnite Spearman
Samnite Heavy Infantry

All fleets (at least for the Romani and Koinon Hellenon) have the word "fleet" in them.

Edit: I was looking throught the EXPORT_DESCR_UNIT.TXT file and I saw that all of the Carthaginian units, Chaeonian Guard, and Kappadocian Cavalry have translated names, they just weren't in the right text file.

After palying with Makedonia I can not recruit Hypaspistai, Pheraspidai and Hetairoi. I have built the last barracks in Huge cities but I can only recruit Peltastai and Pezhaiteroi from the advanced units. Is this a bug or EB forgot to add them?

**Malrubius** · 01-25-2006, 17:08

Post the problem in this thread:

so Big_John can take a look at it. He may have fixed it already, but I'm not sure.
