I was under the impression that the unit recruitment issues were considered high priority by the developers. will there be a hotfix for all issues not resolved?

It is still a beta. Things are not finished. Unit recruitment is one of those things. A lot of unit recruitment has been fixed. Tell us what is still problematic and we will put it at the top of the list to fix. Why complain about unit recruitment not being fixed when not one person outside the mod has yet posted a problem?

We are only human, and we have only so much time to work on this. As you may or may not have noticed, unit recruitment is just a tad complicated in EB. I am, however, extremely sorry if we haven't lived up to your high standards; we'll endeavor to do better in the future.

Khelvan your replies can turn the most demanding persons into appreciative souls (not saying that anyone has been demanding yet). It almost brings a tear to my eye. I can't wait to test out the fixes.

Pezhetairoi are available in Turdetania/Zeugitana/Venetia is that correct ?

Also in Sicilia island Pezhetairoi are available in both Elimya/Sicilia but not Trinakrie (that is strange because other Hellenic units are available in Trinakrie/Sicilia and not Elimya).

Epeiros is the only successor who can't recruit Pezhetairoi in Chersonesos Thraikia.

I dont see any other posts saying they have had same problem.

yup, the spreadsheet is now outdated (it was for v72) mori gaesum are now correctly limited to helvetia.

when i find the time, i will try to put an updated spreadsheet together.

You get a gold star. Everything you've said I just had corrected :-)

I just conquered Rome with Macedon and set up a type II goverment. The Romans already had a MIC 5 in the city, so I decided to make use of that.

For some reason, there is nothing avaible for recruitment. The display for the MIC building shows Hypaspitai and Hetairoi avaible with a Patris Makedonike ... but nothing else.

The situation is so very, very confusing.

According to the Government Type "Strategy" hints (in the descriptions), Types 1 & 2 let you build YOUR native units....of which there probably aren't many in Rome. A Type 3 or 4 will let you build NATIVE units, like presumably, Romans and Samnites and such. That said, recruitment still has issues, and may not be working here yet.....but if you can, run a test that involves destroying the type 2 and building a type 4.....and see if that changes your recruitment options. Since it's a test, don't march or fight and if attacked just auto calc...the point is to get that thing built quickly so we can see if it makes a difference.

Incidentally, can someone remind me what we are supposed to do when we conquer cities? I've been demolishing the government style buildings and the troop building (MIC) ones as I have a memory that was what the EB recommended us to do pre-patch (to make us wait to be able to recruit troops in conquered places). Is that right? Or am I confused?

So far, playing as the Romans, my only problem with unit recruitment has been the fact that I can't recruit outside of Italy until 106 (or thereabouts). Stupid pesky interesting game features! ;)
