I would also think it'd be illogical for (to use your example) Ulm to recruit Arcocephalean Priestesses, given the cultural and religious differences between the two peoples. Most of the unique units come from unique viewpoints. It might make sense to be able to recruit, say, Longbowmen no matter what nation you are, but would the Knights of the Chalice really fight for Ermor if their homeland were to be conquered?

Probably not, I suppose, but then again does it make sense for any independant - say Amazon Sorceresses - to turn around and fight for the nation that just conquered (and enslaved!) their budding civilization?

One clarification though: I wasn't suggesting that you be able to recruit all of a captured nation's troops - just the one's provided by the magic site in the nation's capital. So (unless things are changed in Dom II) no Knights of the Chalice, and no Arco priestesses - For Arco the unit (in Dom I) provided by the magic site is the Astrologer, and for Marignon, the Grand Master.

Still, maybe you (Johan) are right that it would mess up the diversity of the nations too much.
