Agoge Strategery?

[muzz]

I have a lot of questions for any Greek pro's out there! I'm playing Epirus right now and I love the Agoge in Sparta. I have kept upgrading my schools there, so the young nobles acquire huge ancillaries during their stay. Is there any way to increase this effect? I have been starting off with either Type I governments where possible, or Type IV outside of Greece so I can build all my regional MICs first and free my FM's to be field commanders, but have Type II in Chalcis, Athens, Sparta and Corinth. First, am I missing any troops by not going through the Type IV MIC tree in Greece or Illyria? Also, how do I get rid of a regional governor when I am ready to turn it into a Type II or III? Is building Type III ever worth it, or should I go from IV right to II, if possible? Why are the Romans addicted to Epidamnos, and why don't they attack the Carthaginians? I let them have Taras, so I could use the army and money to conquer Greece, but they haven't even gone after Rhegion or Patavium.
