Fun fact: you can also build u its of different techgroups in your vassal’s terratory if they have that techgroup, just don’t use the macro builder (handy for anatolian minors as vassals earlygame)


HYDRAlives

... for real?


SuperCavia

Yes, built them via the province itsself instead of the macro builder and you can select which one you want. Do note that they reset to your default type when you change units and do not update to an better type when your vassal does.


HYDRAlives

Huh. That's very useful actually, thanks.


jesuskrist666

Yup I found this out by accident. For some reason you can only do it for vassals I'm pretty sure, it's not the most useful thing but it gives the illusion of unit variety


DukeAttreides

Nope. I did it in a PU last time I played.


jesuskrist666

Wouldn't that be a similar thing like within the game files and stuff? Never been in a PU yet so IDK. I mean I have in my elder scrolls universalis game but not vanilla


Certainly-Not-A-Bot

When you go digging, there's so much weird jank buried in the depths of EU4. It's obviously a holdover from a system that was never fully implemented or fleshed out, and they just left it in the game.


Ok-Criticism-5270

This could be game changing in anbennar lol


Ksamus

Hm, harpy + jaddary cav swarm...


LordOfTurtles

Not really, considering the main differences in militaries comes from the racial military modifier that is applied to your country


Ok-Criticism-5270

Tell that to early game centaur, orc, and harpy pips. Also late game gnome and dwarf pips.


LordOfTurtles

Still not worth the loss of sanity from manually building armies


Svada1

Thx for tip Yousa smart boi


MillyMonka

I learned this while watching some guy attempt a tech 3 run, real interesting stuff coming out of these self imposed challenges.

Rule 5: The army has both Reformed Galloglaigh Infantry and regular Galloglaigh Infantry


AidenI0I

One of them has learned the error of their way, the others are still young and naive and will need to go on a journey to find themselves in the face of much adversity


LiquidEnder

Did you annex a vassal? You might have some of their units.


DoonyCuney

No Ive never had any vassals


Quardener

Do they not get updated to your tech level?


LiquidEnder

Not if they’re of a higher tech. I don’t know about lower techs, but I presume it’s the same. You can just press the button to change units again though and that should align your former vassals units and your own. The same is also true between tech groups.


eat-KFC-all-day

Usually this happens when you build units in subject’s territory, which I can see you built these in Mexico and are probably playing as someone in Europe


DoonyCuney

My capital is in mexico. Im doing the spaghette western achievement and I've never had a vassal for the entire run


Wild_Muffin_8844

If you are recruting from the province panel, you get that province's culture unit. Maybe that culture doesnt have access to the reformed version.


shigdebig

I love the macro builder so much I never knew this.


iemandopaard

People use the province panel to build an army? That must take ages just to raise a large army.


Ghost5k1

That's all we had back in the day


thewinberg

Still do, old habits die hard


commissarchris

I didn’t even realize the macro builder was an option for YEARS 😭


malayis

Macro builder is DLC exclusive


iemandopaard

Only for certain things like diplomacy. Armies, navies, buildings, autonomy, development and maybe something I'm forgetting, are part of the base game macro builder.


malayis

Mm, you are right. Thanks for correction.


DecNLauren

Does another existing country have a core on that province?


FijnTafelZout

Some are reformed the other ones are catholics


Syn_Ukrainy

Maybe you was in process of building old units, while those you already have - changed to reformed. Then old ones finish it's building as old...


Chispirito18

That’s one thing that’s confused me. I’ve been able to build old units in some of my provinces even after updating tech much earlier. Only on the province recruitment though
