Some of you might remember me posting something about a rebel family member popping up in battle as a unit of Pontic Heavies. We had a discussion about it and several explainations came out of it, such as the rebel bodyguards some some odd reason having the Pontic Heavy Cavalry nametag.

I never bought into it, and now I have proof of 'something rotten in the state of Seleucia'.

First we will see a rebel family member riding with a unit of Horse Archers


Interesting but not as interesting as the next one.


Given that this thread is dealing with odd cases of units, I actually found in the very same turn an oddity with mercs and forts. Look at these two shots.

Notice that a unit of Eastern Mercs are residing in an ungarrisoned fort???? What is going on? So when I moved a unit of of Arab Cavalry to investigate if perhaps my Mercs had been bribed or something I noticed I could in fact select the Mercs and this happened.

Now can anyone tell me what is going on here? My fort is ungarrisoned by a unit of Eastern Mercs...
Has my fort somehow expired or something?
