The Camillan and Polybian era units are intentionally only available in Italy, which is historical. Though once you reach Marian era, your basic units will have drastically larger recruiting area (also make sure to have type 1 and 2 barracks's when you want to recruit factional units)

And trying to turn off AoR mechanism is not worth it really.

AoR = Area of Recruitment. It just tells the different barracks levels what units can be recruited in that area by which factions. To change it, you'd have to do some modding.

Either train more units, recruit different units you can retrain in the area you're fighting in, or expand in a different area.

It requires you to go to the mod files and edit the text files. I'm not familiar with this, but you probably have to do a lot of work for it.

One way you might get around the problem without having to learn how to mod is to use lvl IV governments in the area of conquest that's giving you troubles.

You'll get access to much of the same units you're fighting in that area so things would at least me evenish.

No, I don't know which files and what resources need to be changed, deleted, or whatever.

I can tell you, from personal experience, EB area of recruitment is almost impossible to modify, unless you aare very familiar with the code or you are a pro in moding Rome total war... so I recomend you to get used to the system...

Really, the limited AOR for the roman troops isn`t really a problem as long as you use somewhat historical armies and make use of local troops as auxiliaries. Once you have conquered a few settlements you can even afford a permanent fleet to send new units to the frontline.

Try to expande slow and with the polybian reforms you can send legions to spain and greece with ships and once you conquer the area send other ship with other legion and over again and also recruit native troops and put on the front line and you legions on the flanks or the second line, try to be tactical

If you want a game where you can hire Roman national soldiers in celtic, punic, and greek lands I recommend a clean installation of RTW 1.5. All the arcade-like action you could want without that pesky realism getting in the way.

Anyways, celtic mercenaries (particularly those of the alpine variety) are simply fantastic, there is no reason why you can't use them as standard frontier troops while your roman national armies simply go and fight all the large, critical battles.

well, and before marian troops, those Celtic mercenaries (swordsmen and light cav), are actually MUCH better than your standard hastati

Better isn`t right i think.. Different would be the right word, i think. Those Units serve different purposes on the Battlefield. Roman Units are cheap, disciplined and effecient.

But you if you are far from Italy like Spain then you need to recruit native troops to win and save you legions just like in real life

Except that Hastati really aren't that *efficient.* In Camillan Rome, Principes are stronger and have a spear, which lets them fulfill the role of "Roman Infantry Unit;" it's also better-protected, has better Morale, and is virtually the same price. It's a little better in Polybian Rome, because Principes have a Sword instead of the Spear, but Principes are still much better than Hastati and not too much more expensive. If your goal is "Useful Light/Medium Infantry," some Regionals and Mercenaries (Southern Gallic Swordsmen mercs come to mind) simply are better than Hastati; if your goal is "General-Purpose Infantry," Principes are better.

Ofc, if you want to max out your armies..

The reason because of i choosed Rome and i attacked Carthage and after i conquered their lands and build barracks all i can recruit is Skirmishers and Horse Skirmishers in Carthage capital and near the capital....

Which type of government building did you build?

In the mean time, you can build your armies in Italy and ship them over to your battle front as replacements.

You only get Numidian units and elephants in Africa. You can always ship units from Italy (which is pretty much the whole idea with Romani - You ship troops around, until the Marian reforms occurr)
