    Default Legionary First Cohort help please...

    Hi guys

    I have read on here that you need to take Rome and then have an Urban Barracks in Rome to be able to recruit legionary first cohort units from Rome itself...

    However even though I have that situation... there is still no option to recruit them?

    Would appreciate any help

    It's pretty seldom you conquer Rome before the Marius event has occured. This event occurs when you build your first imperial palace in Italy. It usually appears between 244-228 BC in my games (at least when I play as the romans). To get enough popularity with the people before these years isn't a simple task. And to think of conquering Rome and start a civil war at that point... Besides, the event must've occured, because it takes an imperial palace to build urban barracks.

    I think that the only way of getting the Legionary first cohort is to get them as a gift from the Senate. And if you could recruit them it wouldn't be possible to retrain them anywhere else than in Rome, which often is pretty distant from the scene of war.

    you can build an imperial palace as well as an urban barracks before the event kicks in. have to be quick about it.

    no, you will have no time to have an urban barracks before marian.
    as soon as you build and imperial palace in italy, the reforms kick in

    if what you're saying is indeed true, then it must have been implemented somewhere in the timeline of RTW versions.
    the usual happening was a few turns after your first imperial palace.
    i remember right clicking on my first urban barracks and seeing everything all the way to triarii.

    mattdanielc: go into your game then right click on the urban barracks in Rome and tell me if the first legionnaires are there in the description. you can always edit them in.

    Yep I am way past the reforms - all my armies are urban cohorts or whatever they are called... but I just can't recruit the first cohort from rome at all

    Sounds like this may just be a weird bug then

    What patch do you have? I believe they were only made recruitable in like 1.2 or 1.3

    Wayne... nope they aren't in the description. How would I edit them in? I have no idea how to do any of that... it wouldn't crash my game would it?

    General... never installed a patch mate, so I'm guessing this may be why then?

    Thanks for your continued help guys

    would you mind a new game?
    1.5 makes leaps and bounds over 1.0.
    im not sure if 1.5 is save compatible with 1.0.
    if youre interested however, the process is 1.3 patch first, then the 1.5 patch. it will solve your legionnaire problem as well as many other bug fixes and features.

    as for editing the legionnaires in.. it requires editing a .txt file, unless your version of RTW doesn't have the graphic files for the first cohort. unfortunately, im not an expert in this area and any advice from me would be catastrophic.

    so would anyone knowledgeable please tell this sir how to mod legionnaires in?
