Magistracy

In Swords of the Prophets, the Magistracy is the equivalent of the Noble Residence from Alexander and Kings and Conquerors, and it has two functions:
*It has extensive surveillance capabilities — it has high LOS and the ability to detect hidden units, and
*Like the Warrior Hall trains elite units.
Units created:
*Cataphract, Palace Gamekeeper
*[Arabs] Abtal, Fursan
*[Persians] Azadan
*[Tang] Heavy Axe Guards, Chosen Spearmen
*[Byzantines] Excubitores
*[Lombards] Gastald Macemen
*[Khazars] Tudun Darqan
*[Japanese] Yamato Kyubushi
Aside from these, the following require Logistics to be researched:
*[Byzantines] Scolarios
Unlike the building of the same name for The Southeastern Dragon, where it is an upgrade for the Town Watch Guild, a Magistracy requires only one tech to be researched: that is, Magistracy from the Library.
