    Default Syrakosioi Hoplitai for Epeiros

    My question is since in a thread from a year ago which i can't find anymore someone said he figured out a manner to be able to build regional mic in Syracuse for Epeiros to make the Syracusan. I'm pretty far in game and was happy to finally be able to create this unit but acknowledged that it ain't possible to build them. tried to find the answer for hours but didn't manage so! Hope anyone is able to answer my question!

    P.s: EB best mod ever made!

    What level government does Syrakousai start with? If you just need a Regional Barracks of Level X, and Syrakousai's starting government is high enough to let you reach that level, you could just not destroy it until after you build the RMIC. If it's not high enough, and you can't build the government level required, you'd need to add Epeiros to the unit's list of "People who can build this unit" ... IIRC, it's buried somewhere in the export_buildings_descr file.
    I beat back their first attack with ease. Properly employed, E's can be very deadly, deadlier even than P's and Z's, though they're not as lethal as Paula Abdul or Right Said Fred.

    No, Epeirotes do not train Syracusan Hoplites anymore. I was equally disappointed and for that reason I changed the appropriate files so that I can do that now.

    Go to your EB/Data folder, open up export_descr_buildings.txt with Textpad or some other program (but don't open it up with common Notepad because the file might get screwed up; I've been there). Once open, make a search of 'syracuse hoplite'; you will find three hits. The line continues with 'requires factions', which is followed by a { greek_cities, }. Add the word 'thrace, ' (not sure if the comma and space behind it is necessary but I wouldn't risk it) in the {} next to the greek_cities in all three cases, then save. That should be it. I did it three weeks ago and haven't had any errors since. I did not however take Syracuse with Epeiros yet so I can't vouch completely that it enables the hoplites. Let's wait and see.

    Great man absolutely amazing that did it! No space required just Greek_Cities, Thrace, that does it. Unit is a bit expensive if you look at Greek Classic Hoplites (342vs476) but with one more armor and defensive stat and better morale for sure a great fighter and looks amazing! Now i can finally Invade Khardast with my syracusan Hoplites, thanks sir!
