    Default Apeleutheroi

    I keep seeing references to these, and how having a governor's house lets me recruit these, but I can't. What/who are apeleutheroi, and are they a recruitable unit?

    As Saba I got a load of these guys when an Ethiopian town rebelled over to me, never been able to recruit them though.

    mcantu is correct, they're also only recruitable by the Eleutheroi but they show up tied to the governor's house palace etc because of a trick we had to use in order for them to be able to appear in rebellions.

    They got skins for almost each faction and they're a unit that fixes a problem but also fits and feels right in EB.

    Everytime, you play EB for a long time and you no longer get annoying repeatable rebellion CTDs thank bovi for the concept and stefan for the execution...

    (My apologies for speculating here but...)

    I would guess this is a fix for the rebelling city CTD.

    I think Apeleutheroi are there as a universally recruitable unit so that if a city rebels to another faction, that faction will definitely have at least one unit it can recruit.

    There must be some UI trick that prevents the player from recruiting them.

    EDIT: looks like I don't type quickly enough - there was only 1 post when I started this one...

    Not that I could find, alas. Still, you can find the UI cards by the name "generic_militia" in the factional UI folders (\EB\Data\UI\UNIT_INFO\[faction]).

    Think peasant in tunic with a club.

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    I was wondering about them as well.

    I now have nearly a whole city full of em (my loyal subjects rebelled against the Ptolemist oppressors )

    I don't think I can disband them though.. I take it you have to have them killed?
