Question (important i think)

[D.Val.Nerva]

Hi people! i currently play with RTR Platinum Edition 1.9 and i'm enjoying it a lot.
I'd like to know if there is a mod which lets you put a name on an army, for example "Legion XX Valeria Victrix" etc.
I still haven't found any mods with this feature

You will find that with Roma Surrectum it allows you to recruit specific named legions from set settlements.

On the strategy map if a settlement has an 'L' in brackets after the name then you will be able to recruit a named legion there.

You can only retrain the named legion in the settlement that it is sourced from. You cannot change where a named legion is recruited from.

Also, you can only recruit named legions after the Imperial Reforms (Marian Reforms).

Hope that answers your question.

I think it's a great shame that CA neglected to provide the ability to personalise units by giving us the option to name them, and I can't help wondering if we will be able to name regiments and ships in the forthcoming Empire: Total War.

If they do this then it would be good news for the future, because I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for Rome 2 to be the "evolutionary" leg of the engine.

I hear you, mate! Though I'll still be playing RTW and all the wonderful mods even if its not released for a good four years.

One of the only saving graces of that rubbish pile called Battle for Middle Earth was the ability to name units.

I think a Rome 2 is almost inevitable at some stage, as it has been CA's biggest success to date, and I can't see their "bean-counters" failing to urge them to revisit it.

Like you, I don't really care how long it takes as I still play Rome based games as much today as I did when it was launched. Somehow, even then I don't think I'll ever stop dipping in to it. I can't foresee a day when my computer will be devoid of at least a couple of RTW mods (including RTR of course!).

@ Lestat

I've just read the link in your post. I can't believe I've missed this one! A major mod and I've never played it . I'm gonna be downloading this baby and giving it a spin.

Cheers matey.

When I start falling behind with my work for the team, I'll just point them in your direction, and tell them it was your fault for distracting me.

* Legio XXII Germanica - Recruited among the tribes of Germania

Notes: While these legions historically exist, the numbers and recruitment area has been re-arranged for gameplay/balancing purposes. While their stats are basically the same, however diferent legion will act differently in different ground conditions. For example, a legion raised in Egypt will not perform well in the forest of Germania and will have trouble and prone to ambush.

* Imperial Legions - If one play longer into the campaign, with the birth of dynastic empire, all Roman Legions are recruited more in systematic way. Now the Legions are basically the same in weapons and armour. They will have a standardize equiptment and were given square shield instead of the regular oval shield and a new lighter but stronger armour famously known as the lorica segmenta.
* All footbase auxiliary units get 0 turn recruitment, generally all AOR units get 1 less turn recruitment from factions units.
