in the Rise of Rome scenario, Numidian Mercenaries are buildable by the Persians, Carthage, and Macedon if you have ivory.

Indeed! Thx to remember Pred.! In fact I was totally missing that. But I never feel the needed to used that in a sp..., in mp it make alot of sense of course. (the only problem may be how to Persia gets Ivory... but all can be bought, isnt it?

Persia has ivory available to it, though not hooked up, you have to ubild either a city or colony then road to it. since I am not good with geography I will describe its location as being to the very east of the map maybe about 10 tiles north of Persepolis, mayeb less than that becasue I founded a city there in another game I am Persia and the corruption is not vey bad in that city. I am not sure if it is visible at the start. There is another luxury nearby the ivory, silks I think. Even in SP the numidian mercenaries come in handy as defenders because they can cover your attackers (immortals / heavy cavalry) so that your enemy attacks them instead when stacekd to gether. When using spears sometimes one of the offensive units will be the best defender, especially if it has gone elite. Sucks to have an elite unit be attacked by an opponents Heavy Cavalry and lose.

Right again!
I think I never played with Persia, on SP this scenario! I did played it with Rome, and Macedonia, and for them, a Numidian Merceany is not so useful.

Well, but it just happens I am in fact playing a current game, as Persia, on pbem... that Mercenaries could be a nice help...

Merry Xmas !

Of course the Carthaginians had a weird idea for a present. Pretending some ships I had forgotten were threatening them they did a surprise landing near Ambracia (surprise for me, but obviously well planned for them).
Just as done in Athens during the Persian wars, we sent immediately the population to other areas. This mathematically reinforces the Persian percentage of population. So the West should fall or so it seems to brutal, lawless Asiatic hordes...

Persia has 22% Land and 49% Population. Maybe next turn?
Scythia is down to 3 cities.

Okay, nobody build any Settlers or abandon any cities, do I need to repeat that??

Persia pop % is 48 now, Roman Legionary Army kills Persian numidian mercenary outside Solokha (or something like that) in first battle between Persia & Rome since Rome acquired a new ruler. Unfortunately that Army is all i have in the area and it does ont look like it will do much to prevent Persian domination, especially since it took heavy losses in killing the mercenary.

Rome has 49% of population and Macedonia is crumbling from all sides.... :-(
