    Icon1 A little Hoplite recruitment inconsistency

    Still fooling around playing as the Greeks and after a short but very nasty war with the Romans, I took Rome.

    After getting to a Aux 2 building phase at Rome, I decided to look at the building browser for the city regarding barracks. It was then where I noticed a little recruiting weirdness.

    At Rome while playing Greece:
    Aux Phase 2 - No units, not even levy. In other places I can at least get the Hoplite levy (poor beggars) at this level.
    Aux Phase 3 - Can recruit Eleian Hoplites.
    Corinthian Provincial Barracks - Recruit Hoplites (Levy) and Corinthian Hoplite.
    Royal Barracks - Recruit Hoplites (Levy), Elite Hoplites, and Eleian Hoplites.

    That looks to be intentional. The home_rome hidden resource provides you with Eleian hoplites as a recruitable unit. If you build a Corinthian barracks, you are intentionally deciding to specialized in Corinthians, so all other location specific Greek hoplites are unavailable. Quinn can comment on this more if he wants, as he's the one who decided to build it this way.
