Hi all out of intrest, does sombody have a save file soon after the marian reforms since i hate VE legions

[Paedric]

Do you know you can start with the marian reforms already history a campaign?

[General Brittanicus]

Or you could just cheat to get them at the start.

[|Sith|GWRtom]

Or you could just cheat to get them at the start.

How?

[General Brittanicus]

How?

To cheat all you would need to do is conquer one of the cities that will enable the reforms when you build the imperial palace or whatever it is called. Then use the add_population console command until the city reaches a high enough population, then use the process_cq command to build the buidings in the construction queue in one turn, while using the add_money console command to cover the expenses of those buildings.

[Themis]

using the give_money cheat in the console "give_money 1500000" for example
using the money invest in making tarentum, patavium, mediolanum or byzantium a huge city fast, sparking reforms early.


or by editing the export_descr_building.txt in the data folder

if you look for the entry you can allow unit training from basic barracks, including post reform troops,

so if you say want to do this go about it like this:

1. locate the file, it should be in:

c:\\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\Data

2. make a backup copy!!! very important

3. go to the barracks section in the file, there under the roman units you will find units who have "and not marian_reforms" and "and marian_reforms"

4. delete all units that have "and not marian_reforms" from the tab

5. remove just the "and marian_reforms" part from the other units (NOTE!: DONT remove the other resource entries from behind the lines)

6. there you go! imperial units from the start (note, republican troops are now effectively removed from the game)

[Imperator Romano]

VE legions are so cool though! I think they're very nice looking units.
BTW, does anybody know what does the VE stands for?

[Paedric]

If you put marian_reforms_enabled at the top of the descr_strat, you should start the game with the reforms already in.
You have to put it with the
brigand_spawn_value 30
pirate_spawn_value 40

VE=Very early I believe

[apple]

Yes very early legions.
