Taxeis Triballoi

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

I looked at the units page for Makedonia and saw that you can recruit Taxeis Triballoi. I have all the thrakian lands in my Mak campaign but can't recruit them yet. So

1. in which provinces can you recruit Taxeis Triballoi and

2. what MIC do you need?

Also, what MIC is needed to recruit Cretan Archers in Crete?

I think you need L4MIC to get them, in Thrace.

Creten Archers require a L4MIC, so a 3 or 4 government is required.

Hmmm.... I'll go and see. For Naissos, I think that Level 4 MIC description says I can recruit Thraikioi Peltastai, Hippeis, and Prodromoi, but no Triballoi. And I think Naissos is the place where the Triballoi live - at least the description says (when they were independent) "Eleutheroi (Triballoi)".

For the Cretans, can I make a Type 4 Government, build the appropiate MIC required, then switch back to a Type 2 Government and will be still able to recruit Cretan Archers?

Currently, yes. And I have done that very thing...in many places, including Crete.

For the Taxeis Triballoi, I'm not sure. I've never played a faction in that region for very long. Someone else is bound to know...

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Thanks so far, MAA. Perhaps someone other knows how to recruit them.

Taxeis Triballoi are native MIC level 4.
