I hope they will still say if it’s high, medium or low. Still would like that kind of information
I think it’s still the same, it’s based on culture of integrated pops, but they fixed the bug where initially it would change based of composition of what culture was there at the time, regardless if it’s intergrated or not. Might be wrong tho, hopefully Arheo can clarify cos I’m confused too
If I understood him correctly, it will do that. He mentioned some three levels I guess, but I didn't listen carefully and he wasn't properly informing us about the patch anyway.
The number is based on the number of integrated non-slave pops in a region x Levy modifier (around 10% at game start, modified by a ton of things, like laws and techs). Every tenth Levy is a donkey.
I understood it that they now work as intended: each integrated culture provides units based on their templates, which means governorships with multiple integrated cultures will result in mixed-culture levies.
finally
Was this even an issue? well, why not
thats really good to hear as modder
!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a change that I consider very positive. This will give a greater variation in the units and opportunities for you to integrate some cultures with units that compensate for the weaknesses of your primary culture, great work Devs!

One thing I realized playing with Bactria is that there are some countries that benefit more from using Levies and Mercenaries than Legions due to the concentration of certain pops in different regions.
I almost lost a campaign with Bactria by changing the law from Military Service to Royal Guard...
Yes Military Service and very good for Bactria

So, 1) Make alegion you're happy with 2) change law
There is a stability hit and PI cost every time you change the law.

Don't you have to pay 250 PI to move your capital?
You just forgot that after that you will be on the street because the big families will probably kick you for not paying their wages anymore and the country will go bankrupt

I find legions to be a mixed bag. Some countries like Rome, Egypt, Seleucids and Maurya are simply better suited for legions because they have regions with very high populations that can support big legions. Other countries will always struggle to have the numbers to have a big legion and are better suited to go with the levy/mercenary combo. So overall I'm happy that they're turning mercenaries into an alternative to legions.This is a change that I consider very positive.

I like that too! So there is an alternative viable playstyle (levies plus mercs and maybe one legion vs. multiple legions -> maybe combined with some levies and mercs). And the two playstyles have their upsides and downsides.
As far as I understand it, the ratio in each cultural template is fixed.
When coming to your post, my mind for moment though you have ported a famous song to IR...and lets now all chant
