    Type5? Is this a new government type?

    Huh. I meant type3 I suppose. Sorry about that.

    I actually think I will like the new system better than the old ones. I hope someone releases a recruitement guide.

    Oh, we have something a lot better than a text guide.

    Is it possible to build a type4 government and build a high level of 'regional' MICs, then tear that down and build a type1 and build a high level of 'home' MICs? Thus giving you all the troops availible at that region with only one government type? Or am I not understanding something?

    No, you are correct. The system can be exploited that way. It's not some earth-shattering exploit though. If you do allow a province to be your "ally" for a number of years, and if you build up their local MIC's to the highest level, then you switch to a type1 gov (after destroying the type4), then you can build the highest faction MIC's, but it is unlikely any single province will give you both good faction MIC5 and local MIC5 troops. Your homelands will have some other peoples unlike your own there, but not a lot of them in the highest level local MIC's. Shouldn't be too concerned about this one.

    Yeah, we don't even consider that an exploit due to the way the recruitment actually breaks down. If you have a level 5 regional MIC that recruits the same units at level 5 as it did at level 1 before your government-swap trick, the only difference is that you spent a lot of mnai on the regional MIC for no clear benefit. You could consider that a role-playing thing, as it won't give you any substantial edge (barring the occasional, rare exception).

    No worries! I thought that perhaps type5 might have been the military occupation government you mentioned elsewhere.

    This system sounds really good guys, and it also sounds like the building browser is good-to-go too. Can't wait (I just hope I finish my M2TW Turkish campaign before EB0 0.8 comes out)!
