Need help with Pontus!

[AncientMind]

Hey guys, just started a campaign with Pontus and i noticed that i cant recruit any phalanx units except the cheap ones without a pelte. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? BTW i have DEI downloaded from Steam and as for submods i have the no negative garrison one, cheaper upkeep and a few others but nothing changing units or start pos as far as i know.

AFAIK they get pikes only after first theuros reform.

What Nordling says is correct. Check this preview.

The early stage of their military roster is meant to represent chiefly their Achemenid/Persian characteristics with more Hellenized units coming later in the second stage.
