Yes I see them now...

Still there are no Orthodox Royal Courts at all.

And will we see a variance in Islamic crossbowmen versus Catholic? Will the Byzantine(Roman) Empire have the ability to hire Crossbowmen? Will other units also be available at the same level as well? Also, kinda off the train of thought, but will units on lower levels of the barracks line become obsolete at certain points? I modded my file once so that as each era based, the previous era's became obsolete, but the requirements for the next generation went down one level. It meant I had some duplicate units, but it controlled the AI's unit production very effectively, so I didn't see Spearmen after 1321, which was really annoying.

For example - Feudal Sergeants at 1st level barracks for Era's Early and High, gone by late, have Chivalric Sergeants at 2nd level for High, 1st level for late.

This avoids the nasty problem of militia armies in late period, as well as having to deal with teching up suddenly when you hit an era and you having nothing to produce at lower levels.
I have adjusted it so that there is a "Sergeant" unit for each era. Vanilla Spearmen are early Sergeants, Feudal Sergeants for high and Chivalric for late. Each unit type disappears per era. I haven't decided on the building dependencies as yet, but it may be that each will depend on the same level building. Good or bad?
