Suggestion: About Carthage

[darius_d]

Excuse me?

yes, I play Qarthadastim campain (1.2) and I cant hire units like Sacred Band infantry or cavalry (this is just an example), despite historically they appear far before 272 BCE (in Sicilian Wars against Greeks).
So what is a logic in that? Can't they be available in Carthage city right from the start just if needed?

Edit: of course I am talking about all advanced or elite units proper for 272 BCE, not late units which come with reforms etc.
