A Few Questions

[Maxmamius17]

I Havnet been on here in forever...I missed this site I couldn't find this website 2 save my life, After 1 hour of thinking I got it. Anyways the reason I came 2 the site is to see what new patch LT and everyone cooked up and I saw 7.0. So I got that and I'm ready to go.

My first question is:
1. When you get the manuis reform can you get the best horsemen that you can get in the custom battles area?

2. Is 7.0 harder, becuase 6.4 was easy.

3. And is there any way to get a single army of 10,000? Because I want to play large.


Also one other thing can I change my character names?

1. no because you cant get legionairy cavalry in the campaign.(i think)

2. yes.

3.no thats impossible.

My first question is:

Euhm every thing you see in the CUSTOM battle area is every thing you will get in the game.

[cnaeus]

you cant get legionairy cavalry in the campaign. or can you?

cnaeus,

[Hesus de bodemloze]

i think so but i am not sure, never got to imperial legions.

[cnaeus]

me neither but i think i've heard several times that there are no legionairy cavalry in the campaign because they are too strong and because the've never excistid in the real world.

I wonder why people want to play SOOO huge battles. I mean, imagine that you can force the limit to lets say real cohort, what was it? 480 man or smth, or was it smth else, dunno cant recall right now, but still, that would mean to change cities, pop growth, cause one army would effectively completely drain the place of manpower.

Legionary cavalry is only in Custom. As for 6.4 being easy you must have spammed some super units or something as winning a campaign in SPQR is anything but easy. I suggest READING up on the Roman Army and also read the house rules if you want a challenge and build realistic legions not all One unit type.

Start LEARNING the NAMES of the units and what they were in history and you will ENJOY RTW more. I cannot believe after all this time you were playing RTW that you still don’t know the correct names for the units and that you didn’t edify yourself on Rome itself and Her armies.

^LT im sorry if offended you or not. I always wondered about the Lagionary cavalry, I really dnt need them it would be a treat you use, if we could. I always set it on very very hard to give my self a super challenge. I use your house rules and I kinda have my own house rules to make the game hard and fun. I love this mod very very much and I do want to thank all that made it.

[cnaeus]

thanks for clearing that up lt.

Huge battles with loads of units can end with crash to desktop i usually use large unit size and high unit detail.

A cohort was made by approximatley six centurias (one centuria was at the camillan and polybian about 60 men but changed to 80 at Marius or Augustus reforms i belive,cant remember which.) all together 480 men. About ten chorts made a legion about 5000 men. That without counting the standardbearers/surgeons/cooks and so on.

So even a real legion was not made up by the large number of 10.000 as you wanted it to be.

[czePowerslave]

Its more of a multiple legion fighting. But still, full legion as suggested by house rules represents in a good way a legion by its numbers and composition. And if as LT suggested you follow the rules, you will get a game that is challenging and fun to play. I mean, Romans did nto spam first cohorts or legionary cavalry because of their stats or something like that. This aint some hack n slash or sorta game. For that, gg and bye cause this by any means aint it!

I agree, to state one plays SPQR 6.4 on VH and its too easy is silly and false. Its not a good way to start in a forum when there are alot of vetran SPQR players that know SPQR is anything but easy, infact most complaints is its too hard. lol
