elite unit problem

[hazzaslagga]

First off this is a great mod and i'm having great fun with it.
however i have a problem in that i can't produce elite units. I think Sparta has the elite resource and is fully upgraded but i can't make armoured hoplites. nor have i come across any other faction with elite units. any help will be appreciated

Your playing as greece? Some units are region restricted.

I know there are region restrictions but my point is that armoured hoplites require the 'elite' hidden resource to be recruited. One such region with the resource is Sparta but even when fully upgraded they cannot be produced. I've had a look in EDB and DR but it looks fine so i'm thoroughly confused

Could this possibly be connected to the Marian reforms for the Romans? I know certain units, like the Germanian Berzerkers are unavailable until Rome has achieved the reforms.
