Swadian Treeless Troops have a tree?

[Roaring Mouse]

I just started a new game. I noticed that the recruitment option for the troops in Swadia are different than the rest of the factions. The basic militia cost around 90 and are upgradable, it makes it difficult for a new character to raise troops for the intro quest. I ended up hiring one, then running to the nearest Rhodok towns to get the rest. Is this as intended until the faction gets its troops finished, or is something wrong?

I did a search for this and found nothing. Thanks!

Swadia and Rhodok have a new hybrid recruitment system since the patch before this. This allows progression for these different troops but they will not go up to the next type so militia cannot become cavalry as in vanilla.

Thanks! I knew it was gonna be something simple.
