A question about MIC
Opposite to vanilla, in EB building order
barracks level and city core building level are not linked.
Therefor you can theoretically build level 5 MIC in a very small and underdeveloped town.
Can I ask about the reasons of doing so?
Best regards

Well, I cannot tell you anything about AI-building-behaviour, but I can share my point of view:Originally Posted by MiniMe
- maybe, there's a unique elite unit to recruit,
- the settlement is on "the front" and offers near-by retraining facilities, or
- I have too much money and my depen(c/s)es must rise.

Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:
"Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
"The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"
Re: A question about MIC
Basically, the MICs represent the spectrum of unit types (varying the degrees of availability of regional and factional types), while settlement size determines the availability of men to create those units.
As such, MICs are connected to the government type and not to the settlement size (represented by the core building).
Notice that a large settlement can be reduced to a very small size if the population is massacred (and this can happen several times), so it would not be a consistent reference in what regards the MIC level.
