Recruiting elites in EB2.

[tls5669]

Because Rome was able to raise an army of that size in the late 3rd century BC, but it was beyond the capacity of any ancient people, kingdom, or empire to raise an army consisting entirely of elites.

I never said once that my entire army was elites, I have about 13 or so armies only five are elite, and not even the whole army is, Carthage doesnt have access to an elite archer unit, peltast unit, I dont know if the SB calvary is an elite, I dont have them in my armies, I couldnt afford them at the time, so Ive just stuck with what I have, the Liby-Phoenician Cavalry (Im not a very good calvary commander anyway).

My "elite" armies usually consist of 6 units of either Elite Liby-Phoenician Infantry or Sacred Band Infantry as the front lines. One of them had a couple Elite African Infantry units. Thats it, it isnt like im playing AS, every freaking unit they have is elite. Believe me I know, AS just declared war on me the other night (I ran Egypt out of Africa). Im scared of them a little, theve got some nasty units.
