Looks most promising. Thank you so much. +Rep

Look forward to seeing how you handle regional recruitment.

Have be careful you don't make it too restrictive at lower levels of stables etc.

Need to ensure that every faction can build at least one unit at every level - even if it isn't appropriate historically.
(as I'm finding out in my mod.)
The AI won't build them if they can't recruit anything at that level.
(and may miss out on more advanced units.)

Don't worry,
my idea is to make AOR based on lower units to be able to construct in any zone of the faction and lowering the recruit of elite units to some settlments(i.e. Dismounted Latinkon only abailable in Cannakale and Adrianople / Acritae buildable in greece, constantinople and anatolia / cheaper units like peasant units buildable and base infantry all over the world, like considering them like armored peasants and city guards)
This is to make you and the AI unable to retrain elite troops in every citadel you capture.
I think that this could make it enjoyable for another player besides me
ALSO: Im done with some changes i made last night, and i will post them in tomorrow in the first post. And tonight i will start putting my head down on the AOR (if my wife doesnt kill me first for being at the PC too much time lately)

EDIT: oh, and y forgot: Thanks for the tip

Updated the first post with version 1.0 to download

[roman glory]

This is how the AOR will work:
I've created two types of hidden resources:
1)Regional
Western Europe
Steppes
Northern Europe
Iberia
Africa
Anatolia
Greece
Baltic
British Isles

2)Elite
A unique elite resource

With this i divided the troops in 3 categories
a)Peasant, and basic troops
this ones will be recruitable in any settlment captured (depending if its castle or city) and will be rectruitable in the first level barrack building, and be only for the faction
b)Elite troops
This ones will be recruitable only by the faction owner of the unit, in the top level buildings and in the province with the elite resource(wich surely will be about 3/4 per faction)
c)Common troops
This ones are going to be the middle troops like norse swordmen, norse archers, armored sargeants, etc.
which will be directed by the regional AOR.

I'm open to listen to new ideas. If so, post it

Finished with the AOR and it's allready on the first port as v1.1. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Hope you enjoy it playing as i did working on it
