NEW - ROMAN LEGIONS - 2.0

[UMCenturion]

Thank you sir. A few texture changes from the original Caesar's legions plus ipwnu678's shields.

[ABH2]

Historically there were only 10 cohorts in a legion, 1 of them had an eagle and was double sized, while the remaining 9 were just regular sized.

Also, I'll get the sources up when I'm home - I'm currently visiting grandparents.

I'm aware. The point is that an actual 480 man Roman unit like that could be very overpowered. To allow for the right numbers, 2 240 man units may serve better there.

[ipwnu678]

Hmm.. or maybe 3/4 size? That's the middle ground between the regular 240 and the first 480. Soooo 360 men is a nice appealing number that makes them not too OP. Besides having 2 first cohorts means 2 eagles

[Spadde]

cant you just have the eagle cohort have double the unit upkeep?

[ABH2]

It's not a matter of balancing from a campaign perspective, but in actual battles. And I think there's a strong chance we will end up with complaints from someone playing as a Gallic faction on how they surrounded this 480 man unit with like five of theirs and they still wouldn't break.

Then there is the siege aspect of a unit with 480 men.

We'll give it a try. We push boundaries routinely. But having two units you simply lump together isn't much different compared to potentially making each legion come with an overpowered super cohort. Though, the double sized first cohort wasn't brought into until very late in our timeframe, as well.

[Petellius]

I normally had the Eagle cohort at 360 men I think.

[ipwnu678]

360 is a good number then. plus i tend to use 5 cohorts, with 7 (or 8 in post R2 Radious marian era, +general in marian) auxiliary units. 4 regular cohorts and 1 eagle cohort was a nice layout alongside my 5 ranged and 2 cav armies.

As you can imagine, 2x eagle cohorts would.. require a rework of my formation..

i
You are right, I remember playing a Rome 2 mod which increased my Roman units to 300 or something, and the other factions didn't get that size, so it will overpower way too much. Its ok if the AI had the same increased unit size, but then it wouldn't be stable and cause a lot more lag, depends on the PC you have.

I actually think the 240 unit sizes are playable, and are perfect, they don't force too much graphic usage or stuff to do with lag. Unit sizes with 360 can also be good, but make that for huge settings or something. 240 is something I like, and increasing a few unit sizes shouldn't matter, but then the problem is finding the balancing. In this case, it would be preferable for now to stick to 240, and then increase when the mod has been finished.

[Totalknight]

Bring forth my legions!!

[UMCenturion]

Bring forth my legions!!

Coming late tonight

[Spadde]

were really legions with the segmentata only in britannia?

[UMCenturion]

No, not necessarily However, i believed someone brought up a good point in an earlier thread, segmentata was more prevalent in the north and west, to defend against the weapons used against them. hamata or scale was more prevalent in the east to allow faster maneuvering.

[The Wandering Storyteller]

Would this stuff be useful?
