No, it's not a problem of me not knowing what to do or anything like that, it's about consistency and keeping the units viable. If the Gaedann have to compete with these other units for those 2 spots, as I said, you might as well just say they can't be used.

That the Aedui didn't field Hellenic hoplites as their main line would be completely inconsistent, because no army fielded elites as their main line either, yet that's still allowed. I'm not even asking for them to be main line infantry anyway, and it's a non sequitur to use the argument that because they'd no longer be counted mercenary, they'd automatically become main line infantry. Besides, the Worogez are obviously mercenaries, and I think you'll agree that they shouldn't be main line infantry for the Sweboz either, yet you've made an exception for them and put them as native.
