No, you'll still have everything you built on the type 2 tree. I usually do this the other way around, if I take a province that I know has good local troops (like Crete), I'll make a type 4 gov and destroy it once I get the MICs built.

Have you done this in 1.0? I remember somebody saying that it was going to stop working.

Another thing about client rulers... If you can't change them, you can build them a school. That'll generally get you at least reasonable governorship.

I do it all the time in 1.0. In my Roman campaign I've been churning out Cretan archers to help take Macedonia and I've got a type II government there now, after previously building the type 4 tree.

It was but the additional coding required was not deemed worth the benefit. (Loading times would've increased quite a bit whenever the EDB would be among the loaded files...)

Since EBII can again use the old and much desired logical operators that are broken in RTW 1.5, this will not be an issue there anymore - and it'll be bye bye good ol' exploitful days

OK, I just did that with Carthage, after I'd built everything I could. I changed from a Type 1 government to Type 4, and now my Sacred Band Infantry and Calvalry start life with 3 chevrons
