Thats for sure. Although I my case I wouldn't have to roleplay it sicne there so damm expensive that I can't recruit them at all until I have an empire by the size of Alexanders empire...

By the way: are there any rumours on how Unit recruitment will work in EBII? I read somewhere that they won't be using a baracks system like in EBI (looks like no more elite factional and elite native troops from one city at the same time for me..)
