Some SPQR questions

[Carthage General]

I was just thinking about mercenaries. Can you make a building that is able to retrain mercenaries units,but only in the region that it came from. Example: Greek Swords can only be retrained in Greece.:hmmm:

Another thing is, I just got my xps630 quad core processor and a good graphic card. I know the MAX unit count for most units is 241,243,163 etc. Is there anyway you can make this larger for HUGE HUGE Battles?????

Also does really the units experience do anything. Do they hold the line longer or have better morale or what???:hmmm:

Thanks in advance, I LOVE SPQR 7.0!!!

Not sure about the first thing, I guess it is possible via modding or smth like that. For another - from what I recall and I may be wrong, RTW engine doesnt give a thing about multicore CPU, so that wont help you much, and no, there is no way to overcome the limit of the units. If you want a huge fight, set up 8 roman players and give them all 1st cohorts. Its fun.

If you compare a unit with 1 chevron and another unit of the same type, you can see that each extra experience rank gives +1 melee attack and +1 defence. Basically, this controls how much damage that unit does to enemies, and how much beatings it can take before taking casualties. In the long run, it makes a big difference!

I think some mercs can be retrained but as above im not entirely sure about it.

Basically you can retrain mercenaries by hiring more of them and refiling your squads...weird but works Mercs are for the grinder, that is all.
