Hallo,

as you can remember in Vanilla RTW it was possible to build all your Units in every City as soon as the Barracks were high enough....EB has drop it for reality but has created with this a new Problem for all Faction´s except Roman´s.

As now the Roman´s have 3 Reforms that allow them to build and retrain their Units at last overall in the World (after Augustian Reform).
And this is high needed since its nearly impossible to bring a Legion from Asia back to Rom to retrain...it would need much year´s ig to bring them back or to send them a Unit as rainforcment (or press you to use the movment cheat )

The real Romans have solved this Problem with their Polybian,Marian and final Imperial Reform´s and this is in EB.
But all the other Faction´s? in real World there was not really a need for this since the Roman´s have crush all other Power´s but EB looks for reality only at start in 272 BC...after that the AI and you can make what you will....and the Problem´s starts.

Lets look at my Carthago game....i use in Iberia nearly Iberia Recruited Troops only (for easy retraining and resupply and since their damn good too ;) ) and in Afrika only Carthago Troops (for same reasons as Iberia Troops in today Spain) but now i have war with Potolomai and have conquered Alexandria and Memphis...i known the real Carthago has never do it but in game you can and make it....and now, with Lv 4 and 5 Mic´s Factional/Non Factional i can train in Factional Lv 4 Mic only 1 Ballista and 1 Onager Unit and in nonfactional Aconistai and Hellen Archer.....both absolut useless Troops for all except to fill the Garrison of the City with cheap Troops....to fight the Potolamai Elite Troops i can use Mercenaries that are non retrainable and often useless or i can fight with my Carthago Core Troops and wait after every battle 10 years for reinforcment from Carthago or have to fight at brigdes to keep the losses at lowes level (like a cheat v Ai).

And if i go more v. East this Problem will go bigger.....think about Roman Legion that Conquer,hold and repulse Attacks far away in Asia without Marian Reform....

As said in real world only the Roman´s have had this Problem but they have fix it with their Reforms....and any other Power that would do it too if they would have such Problems....so my Point is to give all factions a Military Reform so if their Empire has more Provinces as >xx (like Roman Marian) it will allow them to train/retrain their Core Units in more Provinces (if you have as lets say Carthago 60+ Provinces after 100 year fighting you can say that the People in the Provinces next to Carthago Core Provinces are now loyal enough to Carthago that they can be draft to their Core Units).

PS: Memphis and Alexandria allow´s Lv 2 Goverment as Carthago.
To said that its a recruit gap is no solution since to put, let say Classic Hoplites into the Rooster, will still not allowed to retrain the Core Troops.
It were no Problem if you would dont build you Trrops in the City´s but create them in Provinces (like it was in reality) and draft the Soldier in a pool of Recruits that will be than send to the Units to fill them up (after creating or after loses in battle) as it was in reality but that is not the way in EB so if we must build and retrain our Units in City´s we should have the possibility to do it in the Province they are (like the Roman´s and only the Romans can do now in EB).
