Command Cost Bug?

[dans221]

I have a unit of Syracusae Mercenary that I want to add to my main Carthaginian stack in the First Punic War. The command cost on the unit is listed as 2, but when I add it to the stack it actually adds 8 points and causes penalties. Is this WAD and I'm just not understanding something here?

Command cost is 4 x if a unit is of a different nationality than the general. If you add any Syracusaen general to the stack it should cost only 2 CP again (he doesn't have to lead the army, just be inside the stack).

Alternatively, there are some leaders in game that can lead units of any nationality - they have a trait for that. But I can't remember if any Carthaginian general has that trait.

Thanks a lot, that makes sense! That's why earlier when I had Hiero this wasn't the case.
