    I think... if you build the governor's buildings in certain colonial territories (I've noticed it in the US and India), you can't build any other buildings and therefore can only recruit militia; building military governor's buildings means you can recruit a selection of units.

    That's only a rough explanation/guess, I'm sure there are some ridiculously complicated hidden rules and variables going on. It is TW, after all...

    Maybe looking at the building browser before you do anything will tell you what you get from the alternative buildings. Maybe

    (And I think the OP was just comparing the military gov/normal gov building trees with M2TW's castle/city choice)

    Nothing hidden or mysterious. Nothing is broken. The highest level military governor mansion allows the recruitment of (colonial) line infantry, dragoons and other cavalry, and artillery, along with several unique units to the region. The unit selection will be different for the non-Christian factions, but you will still be able to recruit units that you would otherwise only be able recruit from barracks & cannon makers in 4-slot cities.

    There are many regions - even in the European theater - where you can build only the Governor's building at the capitol. Try conquering the Americas with only the 4-slot cities producing real soldiers: Quebec, Boston, Philadelphia, Mexico City, and the capital of New Andalucia. The distances are vast, and the enemies numerous. Without a Military Governor's Mansion in a strategic region, you'll have a hard time conquering and defending your territories.

    As for what they do: M.G.M caps the tax rate bonus to 2% and suppression bonus to 1 point. The G.M. has a maximum tax rate bonus of 6% and suppression bonus of 3 points.

    Chaps

    You swap military recruitment for both economy and local suppression.

    OK, that makes sense: in those regions where we can't build the barracks/armory, etc., it's useful to have the Military one.

    Does anyone have knowledge of which region produces what unique troop (like Hakkapelitta in Finland), or is it perhaps possible to check with the building browser?

    In America it often feels better to be able to recruit better units instead of having a little higher tax, because you have so few inhabitants anyway. On the other hand, I've rarely been attacked there :p I've had one stack of troops from Europe systematically conquering every region I've taken in that theater.

    I think that goes for the entire sub-continent. It's like native american bowmen etc in America. What I'm after is more uncommon stuff, but thanks!

    Almost every faction can get highlanders (an elite line inf unit) in Scotland. African Native Infantry can be recruited in Africa, and there's a light infantry unit that can be recruited those lands south of Austria (north-west area of the Balkans).

    All I know thus far.

    Pandurs -> thats what the light infantry of Austria-Hungary was called ...
    In the beginning there was nothing.
    so god said:'let there be light'.
    and there was still nothing,
