Now I want to expand my army a little bit for the Upcomming war with Russia , but whenever I select the Arabic Culture , which is a national culture , I can only recruit Colonial Units , even when I select provinces that are arab majority I started out with such as Baghdad.

Help?

Colonials are troops of state culture but raised in a colony.

So they have the same quality as regulars?
They have reduced org and maintenance cost compared to regular-quality units.

EDIT - and why would Baghdad be counted as a colony?
"colony" in this context means it has not been granted statehood.

You can probably grant statehood to the state.

I don't mess w/ colonials (so not sure if this applies, but I'd guess it does), but I usually wind up with a bunch of 'reserve' quality units... because I either inherit them, or I start with some. I've noticed that when you get techs that improve unit stats (fire, defense, shock, etc.), it only effects the 'regular' units. The 'reserve' quality units don't get the upgrades. So I usually wind up banding them all together, and giving them a frickin' outstanding leader.

So, build regulars. That's my impression.

In my experience reserve quality divisions (that some countries start with) tend to disappear when I demobilize after having mobilized for the first time.

That would make sense... even though I wasn't aware of this, since I seldom ever mobilize.

Yes, I reported that as a bug back in 1.04 I think. Not sure if it was intended or not but they didn't fix it in Rev (either by changing the behavior or changing the scenario files).
