Starting Providence

The way it is done is actually also pretty realistic, in that even when one conquers new territory, it is not possible to simply co-opt native militaries with acompletely different training and organizational structure into your own with some Borg-like assimilation.

It's a design decision and a sound one.

Although you could pick up the other nation's equipment and tools to make it, and/or make the 'civillian' craftsmen forge it for you. So, it could be possible to use at least (or, rather, at most) part of the unique national units.

Or, even, enable the recruitment of 'hybrid' units - that is, when a member of one nation picks up the equipment of another (Ashdod's giant wearing Ulm's black plate armor, or something?).

But yes, as it is, balance and natio uniqueness is preserved, and it is, probably, the way it should stay.
