The purpose of this thread will be to inform the prospective player of Roma Surrectum about the recruitment and AOR system in this mod. It will be updated regularly as I get the information compiled...so check here often.
Romans:
There are effectively Five Phases that lead up to being able to recruit the Imperial Legions of Rome, and much has changed in Patch 8, so read carefully:
First Phase:
The Roman Republican Legion, consisting of Hastati, Principe, Triarii and support units is the 1st phase of the Roman Army. There are 3 Legions, of which you can recruit as many as you want:
Republican Legion I....can only be built in Rome, and symbolizes the Senate.
Republican Legion II can be recruited anywhere in Italy, up to a line where Mediolanium and Patavium are (but not in those regions).
Republican Legion III can be recruited outside Italy only, and only in the designated Roman military AORs you'll see below.
(You will be able to recruit Velites, Light Cavalry and Town Watch everywhere.)
Second Phase:
Republican Legion I VE- recruitable in Italy only
Republican Legion II VE- recruitable in all AOR Military Bases outside Italy.
As you build up your regions and you build an 'Urban Barracks' in them, you'll start seeing the 'Very Early Legionaries'.
They are a 'transitional unit' between the old Hastati, principe, triarii legions and the later named Legions. This unit is basically a slighly upgraded Principe. He is a 'Legionary', and this Legion has a 1st cohort and Eagle, but they lack some of the discipline and training of those who would follow them. They cannot form the testudo. This is a pre-marian reforms unit, so when the Marian Reforms occur, these and all remaining Hastati, Principe, etc. units will disappear from the recruitment ques. (The soldiers you have in the field, of course, will remain.) There is no 'House Rule' on these, except you should only have one 1st Cohort per army.
Third Phase:
When the Marian Reforms occur, the first of Rome's named and numbered Legions will appear in any of the regions you control that are listed below. These first Legions, of which there are 13, could also be called 'Consular Legions'. They were the paid army of Rome, and recruited when Rome was still a Republic. These can only be recruited and retrained in the specified areas. However, when the Marian Reforms occur, all pre-Marian Roman units will disappear from the ques and be replaced with various 'Auxilia' units. Auxilia, Light Auxilia, Archers and varius light Cavalry will be available everywhere to recruit. The 'House Rule is ONE EACH of these Legions. (I'll explain later what a Legion is)
Fourth Phase:
The Imperial Legions, of which there are 22, will appear in the same ten AOR Bases when you build an 'Urban Barracks'. At this point, all the Legions will be available IF you have a Royal Barracks in each region. The 'House Rule is ONE EACH of these Legions.
Fifth Phase:
The Praetorian Legion becomes available in Rome only once you've built the 'Castra Praetorium' in Rome. Praetorian Cavalry will also appear there, and the Praetorian Prefect. The 'House Rule' is TWO of these Legions.

These ten bases will be where all the newest military equipment is available as well; scorpions, repeating ballistas, heavy onagers…the most advanced cavalry such as Legionary cavalry, and several AOR restricted cultural cavalry units like Roman Cataphracts and Roman Gothic Cavalry…the most advanced archers and supporting troops.
