I think you have a special East Indies trading company unit
Actually it's not as unique as it appears.


If you take over certain areas and i'm not sure which qualify you get Colonial or Company unit list rather then the standard.

I know this because I've now owned Ceylon as 3 different factions and no matter who owns it you can always build Company Line Infantry. (He who owns Ceylon owns the East India Trading Company?) The colonial units only real different is colonial regulars and dragoons. In America you do get native american units though.

I'd almost like to see it more like MTW 1 where if you owned certain regions famous for certain units or regiments you would be able to train those or train those units at higher experience levels.
