RSII Legion Composition and Tracking

[Valerius]

Holy loot lol i'm in 585 auc or so and only making 60-65k.Who cares about retraining tell me how to make the moolah

[Beetlecat]

Any thoughts on expanding the xls to include the performance charge and pre-named (polybian) legions?

[Wolfstorm999]

Just a question: how I can combine the specifics in this thread with the massalian troops?

Im currently using six thorakitais, four hoplites, four heavy spearmen and three horsemen, plus the tribunus militi, of course. The massalians are being used as a kind of pre-marian auxiliary cohort. Should I put velites with them, and remove the heavy spearmen? I just beated the arverni very badly, near Emporiae, using this combination of massalian forces. Practically Im treating Massalia as a kind of sub-faction already...

Why do the auxilia legions have different basecohorts in comparison too the main one? I mean if you want them to replace losses than you need the same units to stack it up with ?

[Gylippus]

Cool thread. Just saw it.

Amazed though that you can afford to keep enough stacks like that to do well in the game. Right now (617) I am at war with Macedon, Boii, Carthage, Greek and Arverni factions, plus rebels and free people. I'm sure it won't be long before the German tribes join in!

I have my stacks like this for reasons of economy rather than historical accuracy

1 General
1 First Cohort
4 Cohort
5 Auxilia
5 Post Marian Reform Roman Skirmishers (forgotten their real name!)
2 Cavalry
2 Archers

About this - someone managed to make this into a full timescale sheet? Covering everything from pre-marian up to imperial legions + auxilia and typos?

The one I made recently for RS2 is for pre marian legions I had no idea this had already existed and I' am flattered someone made it as a follow up to my old one

Can this be stickied?

Thank you, Thoas, for making this. Excellent work. Appeals to my sense of organization. Although, I'm wondering why you didn't include a praetorian legion? Isn't "the rule" that you can/should recruit two? Or has that changed and we're not recruiting them any more? If so, too bad, for I really like the way the early legions looks.

I don't use siege legions. Instead, my fourth "legion" will be the supply legion. From turn 1, once I recruit a legion, it never gets retrained. Instead, as men die off, I merge the units and draw new ones from recruitment cities or supply centers that I set up. This presents an additional logical challenge of managing supply.

Thanks again.

Sorry I guess I don't understand how you merge units? Thanks!

[spartan_GI]

Ooops guess all this time I never knew M was a hotkey that did that. Sorry. Thanks for all of the great info! Just found this MOD and forum a week ago and this game is reborn for me.
