    They are included in the Africa & Arabia map. An upkeep of 300+ mne makes them not only an effective garrison but as well a quite luxerious one. The Numidian skirmirshers are in fact prohibitive expensive, with nearly the price of Hoplitai.

    300 Mnai seems a pretty standard cost. It gets me a unit of levy phalanx among other things. Only Pantodopai/Lugoae or Akonitostai/Eastern Skirmishers are more cost effective I believe, but I prefer to use an actual infantry unit as a garrison unit. Feels better that way. In fact, if you did a search I'm sure that you'd find most units don't get under 300 Mnai upkeep, especially any that come in blocks of 100 or 120. If the Polybians still had Rorarii I'd just ship them around but I make do with locals.

    That is for the 240 men units, yes. Smaller units, of course, come cheaper around. When the town is not close to revolution these do as well.

    but I prefer to use an actual infantry unit as a garrison unit. Feels better that way.
    Me too. I use locals as much as possible. That was the reason to make this guide; alternative the player could also just take the money from those provinces to raise hunderds of Roman units in Italy, ignoring local forces.

    just a comment on polybian legions that were described as the ones that defeated Hannibal--
    I thought that the second Punic War triggered the Polybian reforms as many farmer-soldiers returned home to fields that were left destroyed or in disrepair by Hannibal, and as a result they lost their farms. Thereby depleting the possible number of soldiers and causing reforms to take place in the military.
    I dont know, I thought that's what I was told back in World History class.
