Named Legion / Auxiliary AOR Listing

[Aurelius_TL]

A more updated AOR list to show where the named legions and auxiliary cohorts are recruited from. I have limited historical and mapping knowledge so this is a general listing. I used the appropriate files in the Play_Rome and Important_Stuff folders as reference. Some of the auxiliary units I was unsure so those are left blank for now... The AOR indicated is where you should be able to start the training of the specific unit. (see example below)

The other half of this list is a tracking sheet for your named legions and auxiliary legions. It's simplified and exists only to help track your legions deployment, availability, etc. when your empire grows. Helps alleviate headache when locating a legion and/or managing a campaign with your auxiliary support legions. I also use it to roleplay legion disbandment as explained below. (see example below)

How I use this:
- Auxiliary Field / Siege legions are included per Century X’s guide for supporting legions on long campaigns.
- Status: Enter any useful info regarding the legion’s current location, action, etc.
- Formed: Date legion was recruited, mobilized, etc.
- Disband: *Used for (personal) house rule of disbanding named legions every 10-years (20-turns).
- Praetorian: Available if needed to track their actions. Otherwise they usually guard Italy in my campaigns.
- AOR: A list of all the available named legions and auxiliary cohorts in their respective area(s) of recruitment.

*1st Cohorts are not disbanded, but replenished with new troops to maintain experience.
The remaining named legion cohorts are disbanded entirely. After every disbandment of an entire named legion, ONE
EVOCATI cohort is recruited to be deployed at a city for garrison duty or accompanies a popular general on campaign, etc.

Edit: All regions updated on main file. Please inform me of any mistakes.
Thx!

That's cool. Keep it up and we'll include it with the mod.

I actually finished it late last night. I also have a legion tracking list for keeping tabs on which named legions were created and in service, etc. It's all been simplified for ease of use and is included in the same Excel file.

I just have one question before I upload it here... Are the Cohors I Damascenorum Sagittarii and Cohors I Cretum Sagittariorum archers available to recruit from everywhere (except Sarmatia - area 10)? At least that's what I understand from reading the EDB file.

[dvk901]

Yes.

Looking at that graph reminded me of my killsheet from the SPQR mod

Yes! I used a legion tracking sheet for that mod as well. If it was the included one, then it's that. I just remembered how useful it was for the army logistics in SPQR.

I took some of its flavor and what I could remember from Century X's auxiliary guide. I also added the AOR stuff as hopefully useful info for those interested in hunting down their favorite legions / auxiliary units. Plus the legion AOR map included in the IMPORTANT_STUFF folder isn't up-to-date.

OP updated to include file and image examples of lists.

There's a typo in Macedonica (it reads Macendonica).
Great work otherwise.
It'd be great to update the map with the AORs - anyone any good with graphics here?

Will be updated tonight and re-uploaded. Wish I did have those graphics skills because the current legion AOR map looks really slick. Thx for the feedback Tone.
