The number of elements in the traps / devices increased in 2-3, their combat characteristics increased by 1.5-2 times.
The strength of barricades has been increased.


Mutiny in the army for the Roman factions.
These factions initially have the following: -2 loyalty (Integrity) armies. If you do not pay attention to this feature of the Roman society - tired of the war, then your army will hold regular mutinies!
To get rid of this negative effect is possible only in battle! You must study the traditions of each army!

Auxiliary armies and units.
In the game - the armies are divided into three types: Auxiliary parts, Armies comitatensis, Armies limitanei.
The auxiliary armies have: three new units
These mini-armies are needed for reconnaissance, ambushes, delays and so on! That is, they are used as separate armies of the Vanguard\Rearguard.
Who and how many units need to be staffed in a mini-army is decided by the player himself, but be aware that the smaller the size of the unit, the faster it moves on the campaign map (has more movement points). Cavalry faster than infantry, respectively.


Balance and strategic gameplay.
The average number of soldiers in units changed and likened to a cohort, equitum, ala and is equal to 300-200 men, for the horse and foot.
Now the game has become a real strategy, not tactics with strategy elements. Hiring with one turns is not possible (Huns exception). Now, depending on the fraction is 2/4 turn. Increased cost of hiring mercenaries: land x5 times, sea x30 times.
Shipbuilding has now become a costly military production and hiring of vessels increased to x10 times.
The Hun factions do not have spawn! They can and must be destroyed!

New Roman guards commanders.

Protectores Domestici Pedites - bodyguards generals and governors
Protectores Domestici Equites - bodyguards generals


New Roman officers and standard bearer.



Historical formation.
New animation and formation for the historicity of the constructions.
Army late antiquity, and indeed other periods, formed detachments of which necessarily present not only one type of weapons by type - ax, sword and spear, as we used to see in the game, Attila, and mandatory additional weapon for close combat, namely spears in any army. Spear very often had any soldier, regardless with what weapons he was obliged to wear in the army. Spear are not expensive, but it is often indispensable in the defense, especially against cavalry. Most of the units in the fashion Judex - Rex, They will have a spear in the forefront with in defensive formation!
Completely redesigned or added new formation with its own performance characteristics (abilities), are now making a more epic battles in the spirit! Formation are now very strong influence on the fighting qualities of the units. Any Formation is capable of very long and contain the enemy. Thanks to them, the battle became longer and now will not let the opponent easily attack the front.
All the historical formation in Judex - Rex:
Infantry: Wall pike; Screen; Hedgehog (square); Spear_wall; Shield_wall; Roman turtle; Barbaric turtle
Cavalry: Cantabrian circle; Flying wedge, Wedge


Forest robbers.
Created faction Forest robbers scattered, across the European terrain on the campaign map and very often spawned!
This faction works like a horde, has no recruitment opportunity and does not build anything, but sometimes it can accumulate money for the purchase of mercenaries, to replenish its ranks by professionals.
The need for this faction is due to the new gameplay, the battles are now fatal. To have a good army - you need to gain experience.
With the help of robbers, you will be able to gain experience your armies and characters.
This faction has three types of units: Robbers Warlord, Robbers Brigade, Robbers Bows


AOR.
Based on a full study of the late-antique document Notitia Dignitatum, AORs (Area Of Recruitment) were created.
In the mod of their 40: 26 pieces for the Roman "federates" and 14 for all other factions that will capture this area and will be able to hire local special units.

Note: Huns and the closest allies "nomads" - are not considered migratory.
Created 7 units for migrating armies.
These units are weak, they are commoners, but they do not have to flee, their family is here - therefore morality is much higher than even the militia!

How exactly do the Forrest Robbers work? Do they spawn randomly throughout the campaign?? In the roman empire also?

[grif]

Yes! They do not have recruiting their units! They use spawn armies (on the whole map where there is a forest) or hire mercenaries. But they have little money and hire mercenaries very rarely.
