    Default Legionary Cavilary

    I apologize if this question was already asked and answered before; i am new to the forum but have been playing SPQR for a while.
    So my question is how do you get the Legionary Cavilary in campaign mode? I noticed them in Custom battle but haven't been able to find them in any of my campaigns.

    19. Arcani, Druids, Legion Cavalry, War Dogs, Flaming Pigs, and Screeching Women are removed from the game.

    They have been removed from the campaign mode, but not custom battles? Thanks.

    Exactly, You can enjoy these horsemen in the custom battles, but as far as campaign goes, you wont get them. Plenty of other replacements for those.

    they were taken out because legionary cavalry didn't exist in the time span of the game - rather they were a latter Imperial introduction

    I am very happy those were removed and I kind of enjoy the "weak" Roman cavalry since one really has to think before using them

    They are not that weak while combined with a triarii unit. But definitely something you want to fight in melee right away

    Right you are - cleverly used, the Roman Cavalry are lethal and exactly how I want them to be

    My favourites are actually the Late Cavalry Auxilia (missile)

    for the most part i use merc cavalry as my main cavalry force, but i do put 2 units of Roman Cavalry in every legion even if i will just hire noble barbarian cavalry mercs and use them

    I do the same, but I go for the light merc cavalry (barbarian and numidian). The noble are too slow for my taste

    i do this sometimes especially allong the Gallic border, the swifter Equites hit the flanks first and then just as there charge dies off.... in goes the noble mercs - lol, the only gauls to stand for it if timed right are the chosen swords (mind you i've seen a few that could make even the Spartans impressed)

    Well, it depends. For a charge you really want the heavy ones, but it never hurts to have light cav, swift and fast, it can harass archers or regrouping units.
