Currently playing as Rome, around 80 plus turns in and slowly not being able to keep up with the new cities being conquered vs garrison costs...

I understand you're not meant to speed through all 1000 some settlements, but at least give some weak militia unit with cheap upkeep like the base game to help garrison settlements and free up your armies to continue on

Going beyond Italy is a drag, even more so that from conquered to recruitment center it'll cost around 60 turns / 42.7k on the high end to recruit all pre-marian units... 28 turns / 20.8k just to be able to even recruit hastati

(ballpark as i just realized not all "roman recruitment" buildings aren't in building tree)
