hydra production bug?

[Aezeal]

why is this specific one intentional? it seems a bit strange IMHO. are there more like this?

You can't ever recruit any enemy national troops from their capital or otherwise.

You can always recruit independent forces from any captured territory, including an enemy capital.

I can produce my (MA ermor) units in that fortress, the indie units and the smallest flavor of hydra (produced by the special pythium structure.. normally I cannot build the race specific units when taking capitols I think

am I wrong? is this intentional? is this a bug?

Shuma.. please reread what I posted above (how I started the thread .. then compare with what you said.. and then wonder why I ASK IF IT"S a BUG

--> In my game I can produce one of the enemy national troops (the smallest of the 3 hydra's of pythium)
--> KO says it's intended.. I wonder why this is an exception to the rule you mention (and the rule I know)

[Dedas]

It's not an exception to any rule, it is a reflection of what the developer felt was right at the time (and still feel i believe).

Oh, here is the explanation:

Scroll down a bit.

ah thanks.. I'm still not sure I think it makes any sense but hey.. if it's what they want then so be it.. I'm not the maker of this game. I just thought I'd mention it now it's done so I guess it's over now.

[Dedas]

No problem!

I guess if you look at this game comparing it to any conventional commercial product one might get confused.

I find the explanation somewhat lacking. It would make more sense to say that only Pythium and Sauromatia have experienced hydra tamers that can manage a full grown hydra.
