Building marius reform legions

[groove88]

I'm loving the mod still. Kudos.

Quick question, ive look under the sticky sections, readme etc, i want to know if there is more informations on how to develop legions, so that there named from the map (im sure i seen this on a screen shot)
and information on which way to recruit them, why they can only be retrained in the same city etc.

My pre marius legions mainly consisted of 2 lines of Triari, 3rd rank of vetlites, and cavalry, i would recruit heavily if resistance, are there limits with imperial cohorts etc?

I recommend this thread about houserules and some tips on how to upgrade legions

The Marian reforms happen sometime when you have conquered Carthage and extensively developed your Italian cities. When this happens, you will no longer be able to recruit early republican units such as Hastati, Principes, Triarii etc, and get access to the new named republican legions. Upgrading to Imperial legions is a choice of your own when you want to do it, its just a matter of building the right barracks.

Thanks

Ok, well i just got the reforms couple of turns ago, about to commence in the upgrade. So to clarify, there are no parametres as such to the limit and how you run these legions as such. But the rules provide a much more realistic rewarding form of play basically

Yes they do, and since the legions will be numbered now, the game limits you to only be able to retrain the cohorts in the same city they originate from.

And please, follow the house rules on the legion composition. This is no fun-vanilla mod. This is meant to be most challenging one out there!
