It's great that you are trying this out. Together with the African army being locked this should definitely make the Romans more powerful in the land war.

No replacements for Carthage mercenaries; Only one Italiot unit available for replacement (ie, this option will not reappear)

What does this mean exactly -- that after recruiting from the options menu say the Numidian mercenaries, you won't be able to recruit them again from the options menu?

[bob.]

No, it means you won't be able to buy replacements for them in the F2 screen.

[Franciscus]

No, it means you won't be able to buy replacements for them in the F2 screen.

Yes. Sorry, the text had an error and could be more explicit

- you will not be able to get replacements (F2) for any of the available mercenaries.
- Italiot mercs will be available for recruitment via option only once. The other will regenerate during the game, so you will be able to buy new merc full units via options- but not replace their losses


PS: this is in reality for testing in public beta, for you to see if it helps the scenario balance

Sorry and regards
