    Default where are the urban & paetorian cohort?

    should there be urban cohorts? (town watch) so that we can keep the cities frm revolting?
    i think paetorian cohorts are historically accurate or maybe i m wrong?

    Not in the time period covered by the mod. See the RTR FAQ.

    02) "Where are the cool Hollywood Romans?" or "Where are the square shields/segmented armor?" or "Why aren't the Romans in red?"
    Hollywood is to blame for the red capes and red plumes commonly associated with Roman soldiers. Though red was a common dye used in the ancient world, there is no evidence the Romans actually wore red capes and had red plumes. We know the configuration of Roman uniforms and gear, but, the colors are open to speculation. With that said, the most commonly asked question here is "Where are the square shields" and "Where is the cool armor that Maximus wore in Gladiator?". The square shields commonly associated with Roman legionaries did not come into common use till after the end of the Republican era. Rome Total Realism's time lines ends in 1 AD, therefore, the square shields you see in movies are outside the timeline of this mod. This also applies to the segmented armor, or lorica segmentata, as it was called, which did not come into use till approximately 30 AD. Again, this is outside the timeframe of Rome Total Realism. The units depicted in RTR are thoroughly researched and accurately represented.
