How can I recruit Hypaspists as AS?

[Kull]

That was an oversight, and it has been fixed in the Patch.

If you want them in your game, it's not too hard to pull off, but if you mess up it will CTD your game. Follow these instructions EXACTLY (especially the first one):

1) In the EB\Data\ directory, find the file called export_descr_buildings.txt and MAKE A COPY OF IT!

2) Open export_descr_buildings.txt (not the copy) and do a search for hypaspistai

3) It will take you to a line of text that looks like this; recruit "greek infantry hypaspistai" 0 requires factions { macedon, } and hidden_resource SW and hidden_resource C and hidden_resource n1 and hidden_resource n2 and hidden_resource y4 and hidden_resource n8 (there are six lines total, one after the other)

4) Make the following change (red font) in all six lines: recruit "greek infantry hypaspistai" 0 requires factions { macedon, romans_julii, } and hidden_resource SW and hidden_resource C and hidden_resource n1 and hidden_resource n2 and hidden_resource y4 and hidden_resource n8

5) Spacing is key, and the faction name section must look exactly like this or the game may CTD: {<space><macedon><comma><space><romans_julii><comma><space>}

6) Save the changes and restart your game.

This should be compatible with your current game. If it CTDs, you made a mistake somewhere. If you can't figure it out, just use the copied file to restore the build back to it's original condition.
