    I can build African elite and have been able to build them for quite a while. Are you saying that if I can build them, I should be able to build the other?

    A reform marker spawns in your settlement once the reform hits, then you should be able to recruit all listed units.

    There are African Elite Pikemen and African Elite Infantry who fight in a Roman/Celtiberian style. The Pikes are recruitable pre-reform while the Infantry are only available post-reform.
    From Frontline for fixing siege towers of death
    x30 From mikepettytw for showing how to edit in game text.
    From Brennus for wit.

    Ah, I think I was referring to the pikemen. And here I thought I could build every unit Carthage had to offer. How wrong I was.

    basically represents the poenii adopting new tactics going from an influenced greek (hoplitai) hellenic (phallangitai) military organisation to a more manouverable roman (legionary/dunaminaca) organisation since they started to have to go deeper into iberia and italy to fight their wars instead of their typical disembark them on the beach and fight the batle there (phallangitai rule in a plain but in broken terrain the hability to manouver is more important then maintaining the cohesion of your lines )

    hope it´s summed up a bit and i didn´t made too many mistakes or generalisations
