Any thoughts on "migration" campaigns?

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

This recruitment system seems to be more historical (what happened) than realistic (what could quite fesibly have happened).

A lot of the text in the mod talks about learning and adapting, e.g. Baktria being a mix of Hellenic/Persian/Indian units or the Romani units adopting equipment and techniques that worked against them. But it's like all change stopped on the last day of winter 273BC.

Oh well, I still love it. And deciding what's realistic would be a nightmare.

I agree with you, but I think the team shouldn't make fictional units. The Maks died in the 160's, so they don't get a reform except hysteroi pezhetairoi. The Romans were the "real-world-EB-winners", and so they get 3 reforms. The Saka get a reform with really odd greek units because they did in history, but the Sarmatians don't...

I think it would be impossible and not desireable to make fantasy units of what might have been - though it would be great, of course. You would have to be God to make appropiate what-might-have-been units.
