In EB1, I was a big fan of Ioudaioi Taxeis : I liked the fact they were a unit unique, with 200 guys instead of 160 (making them > thureophoroi) and for RP reasons.
Since EB2, Seleukids and Lagids can recruit them everywhere by building tier 3 strategic fortificiation "Jewish Garrison" : the building can be built everywhere by these 2 factions as long as they control Judea when they launch the construction. I love the concept, but it's a bit costly to do this just for a medium tier unit that ca be recruited once every 50 turns (yeah, once you recruit the 2 units in the initial pool, you gain 0.02 unit every turn... a bit low IMHO).
What I suggest is to make the Jewish Garrison giving 1 or 2 free upkeep for Ioudaioi Taxeis, making a bit of incentive for using them. (I love RP, but I'm not sure I would pays 10K denars per province for having this unit).
Is it technically possible ? (I don't realley understand how the game handles free upkeep)
What do you think about it ?
(If it is possible but the team doesn't want to do it : Do I just have to put a line in the EDB ? Or is it harder to code ?)
