(historicaly it happend in I century bc but in game it is about 220 bc)

Marian Reforms are triggerd by having an Imperial Palace in Italy and, since version 1.2, being beyond 220 BCE. It doesnt happen at exactly 220 BCE but at a random year after that (chances increase with every passing year after 220). If you still want to keep playing with Republican units you can always edit the Export_descr_building.txt file but make a backup of it before you mess around with the file.

It happed 107bc historically but on rtw with the julii i already conquered the entire known world (apart from Rome) and every province. Thats what i dont like bout RTW, the game should be brought forward a centurary. Just look anty the romans, they didnt conquar gaul until caeser came along and he was born in 100bc!!

next time i'm going to start a campaign again (waiting fo SPQR 6.0) i'm going to change the start date to 150BC. i think that since 1.3 the trigger is only imperial palace, correct me if i'm wrong. if thats the case, then i will simply use the construction queue cheat on my capital, or remove the "and marius_reforms" lol...
i think it will be more realistic...
