Why can't I retrain my early hastati and principles into late one?
Why can't I retrain my early hastati and principles into late one?
The reform system is an independent script unique to DEI. It basically blocks recruitment of reform units until certain conditions are met, but otherwise they can be recruited from low level barracks. Vanilla doesn't work that way. They are completely separate units independent of each other as far as the program is concerned.
That being said, the team is working on creating a way for us to be able to upgrade to reformed units that is scheduled for the 0.95 release.
I can recruit new units (late hastati and principles) from baracks.
But I can't retrain the old ones. Retraining not possible.
Do you still not understand why you cannot retrain? Or are you just stating what you already wrote in your first comment?
Red_Barron gave you the answer. It is not possible to retrain because of the how to game works, a problem the team is hoping to solve.
It would be fantastic if the "upgrade" the team is working on will also work on the AI, it would certainly get rid of the obsolete units the AI gets around with in the mid to late game, making the game a bit more challenging.
