AOR units in RS2

[icydawgfish]

In the previews, I've seen all sorts of allied/AOR units for various factions so I'll use the Seleucids as an example as they seem to be the most prominent. I understand that some units like Jewish spearmen will only be recrutable in and around Judea, but lets say I invade Thrace, will I be able to train local Thracian units? Or if the same case if I invade the steppes. I think you get the point.

Thanks,
Icy

Yup -- there will be dozens of AOR units in place all over the map, recruitable by any faction that conquers that region and builds the proper buildings (and recruitable as mercs as well). Thracian, Celtic, Getic, Sarmatian, Skythian, Iberian, Numidian, Arab, you name it.

will archers remain the same for romans?

before the reforms, you're gonna have to rely on AOR units and Mercs, but as it stands in the current Beta, post-reforms there are units of syrian and cretan archers recruitable all over the empire (because the creation of the professional Auxilia Corps meant that individual cohorts of archers could be posted all over the empire).
