Europa Barbarorum FAQ

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Oh. But what if we're playing other factions? As far as I could see from the bug reports subforum, the KH are dependent on it for their phalangitai, are they not? Aren't the Baktrians too, for their hetairoi kataphraktoi? Or is that the EB Marians both cases are dependent on...

If you are playing (lets say) Baktria and the Arverni conquer all of Italy before a huge city is built, then yes you will not get the Hetairoi Kataphractoi bodyguard (unless a 'civilized' nation like Epieros conquers Italy from the Arverni later). You can, if you want, go into the descr_regions, add the "italy" hidden_resource to a town that is or is about to become a huge_city, (then delete the map.rwm), and you will trigger all of the reformed units with that city.
