Correction recruitment

Description
Hello everyone! I'm not sure if you have noticed but, the recruitment of some units in the game, is not historically accurate. For example, the Roman auxiliary infantry and cavalry can be recruited before researching the technology "Cohort Organization". Many Greek factions can't hire thorax swordsmen and spearmen, but we know from history that romanized infantry such, as Thorakitai had most of them. Also I can't understand why Scythia has no Scythian hoplites, and Iberian tribes can't recruit scutarii, etc. In this mod, I decided to fix it and I have given some vanilla units to the factions that need them.
So, here is the list of the units that have been received by following factions:

Numidian Noble Cavalry --------- > Carthage
Numidian Noble infantry --------- > Carthage, Libya
Thorax Hoplites -------- > Macedon, Greek minor, Epirus, Pergamon, Seleucid, Ptolemaic, Massilia
Thorax Pikemen ---------- > Epirus
Thorax Swordsmen ------- > Pergamon, Pontus, Epirus
Scythian Hoplites -------- > Scythia, Sarmatian
Nubian Spears ---------- > Aethiopian factions
Nubian Bowmen -------- > Aethiopian and African factions
Iberian Scutarii --------- > Lusitani and Iberian factions
Silver Shields Pikemen ------- > Macedon
Shield Bearers ------------ > Epirus
Thureos Spearmen --------- > Massilia
Galatian Royal Guard ---------> Galatia
Elite Persian Archers ---------> Saka Rauka ((Massagetae)
Scale Thorax Hoplites --------> Saka Rauka (Massagetae)

Auxillary Cavalry and Auxillary infantry can be recruited by the Romans only after researching the technology "Cohort Organization".

Greek hoplites will be replaced by thoracites after learning "supply reform" technology

(SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE)

This is due to the reforms of the Greek army. After learning the "Hellenization" technology, the garrisons will recover.

I was playing as Epirus. I just I had 4 troops in Apollonia and 5 in the horse settlement.

What faction are you playing?

There's a bug, using this with your better garrisons mod resets the garrisons back to vanilla.

They were cataphracts of the Sakas, not the Sarmatians, they are not similar to those depicted on Trajan's column.

Hey man, why did you remove the cataphracts from the Getae? Sarmatians and Dacians were historical allies
Made more sense before

A common sense mod, thank you.

this is probably due to the fact that the Scythians assimilated into Greek culture much later, and therefore the Scythian hoplites appeared later

Scythian hoplites are tier 3 even though hoplites are tier 1, possible to replace or invert?
Andrew Boyarsky  [author] 23 Jul, 2022 @ 12:27pm 
And what is the problem with the Scythian hoplites?
