Western and eastern auxilia

[Oleo]

Playing around with the unit cards for these units I noticed one of the two is a mercenary_unit (western) and the other (eastern) not. I was wondering whether thats a bug or intentional?

Possibly a devious way to get a new unit from an existing model. It might be that "merc trick" they are always referring to that basically allows us a new unit where unit or model limitations before restricted it.

I thought that was it, as it was in the same model as the vigiles in descr_model_battle. Cost me an extra 5 minutes to figure out why my pics didnt show up though .


Tnx!

Doesn't that mean that when playing as any faction but Romani, western auxilia can be bribed into your service?

If it frees up another model slot though, good idea.

Only if your non-Roman faction is listed on the "ownership" line in EDU. Which it isn't.

Ah, thanks. I was under the impression that units listed as "mercenary" could be owned by any faction.
