I few things that need asking.
I just got a few, not-so-basic questions about the game that just sprung to mind.
1.If you try to retrain units, and you end your turn, and are then laid siege to, will those units be retrained?
2.I'm trying to test a theory in combat. can I control both sides in the custom battle, not just one? Or, can I make the AI do what I want? (Yes, I know they're the same thing.)
3.Thirdly! I have many a mercanary hoplite. But they have all taken casualties. I cannots retrain them! : (
Why is this?

Re: I few things that need asking.
1. No.
2. You have control of twenty units max. I don't think you can control opposing sides, sadly. If you really wanted to do this I'd suggest going on multiplayer with two different accounts/a friend to help.
3. Well, since you don't train mercs in the first place (you buy them) you can't retrain them either. Just merge their units or disband 'em.
Hope this helps.

Hmm, I know with buildings nothing gets built...
I thought the only exception to the rule was that you could build ships even if your port was blockaded.

Weird. In my experience a building in the last turn of construction gets finished as soon as you hit the end-turn button.

well, I'm almost sure that they get finished at the start of your round. So when the AI lays siege to your city in its turn, they're still 'under construction' when your turn starts.
Re: I few things that need asking.
Don't know how I can prove buildings but if you check the Financial Summary before you end your turn and compare it to the end turn report, the difference will be in the army upkeep. Basically, your guys are recruited and draw their first pay check and then the next faction takes their turn. I was planning on using screenshots but I'm not feeling technically savvy. Just compare Army upkeep expenditures to see what I'm saying. By extension I'm guessing that there's no reason for your units to recruit and then for your buildings to be constructed later. Oh well, somebody just needs to get seiged.
