Cant recruit praetorins, heavy onagers, legeonarys

Hi guys,

I finish play Rome Total War and I love it.

So, I found on google about this "extension" Rome Total Realism.
I download that Rome: Total Realism 6.0 Gold /1.9 Platinum.

I was loving too but now something looks like wrong.

I already have +40 tows on my faction, the ear is 215-222 BC (something like that) and I still cant recruit some units that I love on regular game version. e.g: roman praetorian cavalry, (first) urban cohort i, legionaries, archers, heavy onagers. I really miss that "Testudo formation" on my units.

I remember on regular version I could start recruit this units after strike down the senate. How this works on Rome Total War Realism Platinum?

Cya guys...

Do you guys recommend me another game version?

im not sure but you can only recruit those units after the marian reforms occur

in vanilla this usually happens when you build a couple of imperial cities or the ai just decides it's the right time...

until then you can only recruit your pre-marius armies

Oh, thanks for the tip special on culture. I found this:

I guess I will press the "End Turn" button few times.

Rome Total Realism is a mod for RTW and significantly changes the game so I'm not entirely sure how you'd trigger Marian reforms in it.

In "vanilla" (unmodded) RTW the Marian Reforms occur when someone builds an imperial palace in Italy outside of Rome.
