Evocatii

[Metaluis90]

have anyone heard about those guys? I was watching Rome series and it was shown that the main character (Lucius Vorenus a ex-centurion, for those who dont know) re-enlisted the roman army as an evocatii (which, if my basic latin course in high school helps me, means "those who are remembered" or "those who are called again"), which means they are a veteran corps in the roman army, and in my humble opinion, I think it would be historically correct to put them in the game, even replacing the pretorian guard, which only became important when Augustus became emperor

really... nothing to say?

We already have quite a bit of work in progress and basically no manpower to do it.
Your idea is interesting but at the moment there are no resources to implement it unfortunately.

they are just high experienced Roman Legionaries....

they are re-enlisted legionaries which enjoyed many favours, such as avoiding the legion's everday work, a better salary, and others... they also were the general's favorite and most loyal men he could recruit, because he gave them lands (that's the way Illyria and Spain got roman settlers)

make Italia capable to recruit 4 chevroned legionaries that would do it

that would also simplify the context of the evocatii... It is true that they were highly experienced (they were the most veteran) legionaries which could be found, but they were more thant that; they were a quasi religious, devoted soldiers which pledge total loyalty to their general NOT to the Republic, I think this is a very important point, because when an ambitous man have the power and loyalty of the men; many, many great (or horrible) things can be done. That's what happened in the late republic.

Marius did that
Silla did that
Pompeius Magnus did that
Crassus did that
Caesar did that
Octavius did that.

Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you.

That would be slightly overpowered though.
