Town Watch Cohort

Early First Legionary Cohort

Early Legionary Cohort

Late First Legionary Cohort

Late Legionary Cohort

Evocati Cohort

Urban Cohort

Praetorian Guard Cohort

[stupar123]

Looks good

[The Crooked Philosopher]

I think you don't need urban cohort.

[General George S. Patton]

I think you don't need urban cohort.

They wont be available for recruitment, but you will get 4 when defending Rome if you have higher level military buildings.

They will be available in custom battles

This is because they historically existed, but where all but a police force for Rome, and not a super unit like in Rome 1 lol

[♠ Thomas Cochrane ♠]

I don't like the "early" and "late" prefixes. They weren't called that during the time, and it suggests that they're temporary troops only there if you can't wait to upgrade to late legionaries. I for one have never yet unlocked late legionaries.

Very interesting point. Not sure what else I could do because the legions did evolve over time, any ideas?

Thanks guys, glad you like them

[webMaster412160]

Looks great!

[SD_Man]

Triarii wearing linothorax?

[General George S. Patton]

Yes, remember these are camillan units, not polybian.

There are 2 schools of thought when it comes to camillan triarii.

Some people think that they where still armed in the traditional hoplite fashion as a last ditch solid line, others say that they evolved along with the rest of the lines.

There isn't really any concrete evidence for either, and I have gone the hoplite route, because Its the one I believe and to me makes more sense.

[General George S. Patton]

Added polybian velites, you can see the other polybian units in the background, but I need to change some armour probabilitys and textures so you will get to see them tomorrow

[Ichon]

Hoplite route makes more sense to me as well. More aggressive and flexible early lines if defeated need a solid defensive line to hold off enemy so the rest of army can either re-group or successfully flee the field or possibly win the day if enemy is already exhausted from defeating the first 2 Roman lines. Also seems to accord with Roman sensibilities of conservatism and practicality. Looks nice, are you doing all the work yourself?

[ASPGolan]

Use the same name for both (in unit's description you might specify reformed legionaries for the later unit). UC should differ.

If you can't use the exact same name, things complicate a little. I was thinking of using cohort only for the late legionaries, but from a quick diagonal lecture, I see that we can speak of cohorts since Marius' reforms so that's really no good. So instead, my humble suggestion is to use [First] Roman Cohort for early legions and [First] Legionary Cohort after the reforms, somehow implying that they became a legion only after they tweaked the re-organisation of the army , which is not 100% accurate, but suggestive enough for the game.

Thanks, and yes its just me for now until I can find some more people

Hmm, I will think about these, I was also thinking about using like Augustan, or Ceasarian legions, but I don't think that would really work.

That got me thinking, Republican / Imperial Legions.
