starting with historical units

[Mithridates_Eupator]

Is it possible to mod the game to add in historical units at the beginning of the campaign? I would like to have a few units of Argyraspides pikemen as the Seleucids at the beginning of the game since they were the standing army of the empire. I'd be fine if they couldn't be re-recruited until the appropriate techs. Without them it's like not being able to recruit Triarii until lvl 4 barracks. Yeah, the unit is elite but it's unhistorical to have to wait.

I figure once the populous mod is in there the whole recruitment dynamic would change, like most faction would start with being able to recruit everything. (but limited by population cap)

I certainly hope so. Not being able to recruit equites, princpes, and trarii right off the bat is a little more than stupid.

I utterly agree, it would make the start much more interesting and historical.

I am waiting for such a addition to mod for a long time...this will make the game very intereseting and epic...if you will take care of those starting units...they will become in future - beast of war...but still there should be made some adjustment to starting economy.

As a spartan player I hope so. for the Pyrrhus army.
