I think I found a bug?

In my campaign as romani, when I was ruthlessly conquering koinion hellen I noticed on the tip of sparte there is like 4 different bits of land ownership. Just wonderin gif anybody knew about this and if this was done on purpose...

Purpose. And something says me:

Cape Tanairon if I didn't misspell it. Merc hub. Simple and dirty solution to what is otherwise very difficult to represent on the campaign map. Locked off from the outside world, only accessible by sea.

Its called 'mercs r us.' Basically it allows for the recruitment of mercs from pretty much anywhere in the Balkans and Italy. It respresents a spot where mercs actually gathered.

so does that mean i can get any type of merc there?

IIRC there's a little bit of Italy, mainland Greece, Crete and Cilicia there, so any mercenaries available in those regions can be hired there.

I have a rebel army located there on my map.

It won't affect the mercenary recruitment, because as long as you're in any one of the other provinces who co-own Cape Taenaron with Lakonike, you'll have access. You don't have to -physically- have a family member on that tip of Greece to recruit. Leave the rebel army there to rot.

The four provinces are Lakonike (Sparte), Cilicia (Tarsos), Krete (Kydonia) and Aitolia (Thermon)

And changed in the next version, as some of these are redundant now that we have made mercenary pools instead of single region ones. Now even more are available there.

Sounds cracking Bovi

We should also maybe think about spawning boats with mercs on them there from time to time, maybe for EB2, but if we can spawn them and put them on the boat then they'd randomly go places. It would be a little more accurate I think and show how they were recruited from there and then were taken to wherever they needed to go (usually by the guys who recruited them) on boat.
