Way to go back from Praetorians?

[Gaius Julius Cæsar Augustus]

I love Praetorians, but I want my numbered legions back. Is there a way to downgrade?

[Ferdiad]

Build the Barracks again?

Build the Barracks again?

dude the numbered legion which you can build in rome, you can build them in whole sicily and capua as well I think... downgrading is nonsence

oh.. if its VIII, than you can build that in south italy and one city in north greece

[Gaius Julius Cæsar Augustus]

The info section says I need the Roman Fortress. Is that a level of the castle?

[Ferdiad]

Its just the new barracks I think.

You can get all the numbered legions out of Rome. For example, if you build a fortress in Emporia, Massalia, Arretium, Salonae and Messana, you have access to all of the hamata legions.

Neither Fortress nor barracks are in the building browser. I have the army rations built in almost every town but there's no option for barracks and the likes.

Currently I have the Praetorian building in Rome, which allows me to create Late Praetorians and a couple of those numbered legions created from random people from different countries. None of the Legio XIII etc.

youre aware that higher tier barracks require other buildings apart from barrakcs?

liek citizenship, and fortified regions and supply of army ratiuns,

just sayin.

And the Xiii is recruitable all over norther italy and massalia

[NerZhulen]

okay there are two 8th legions, gemina and augusta...

[Gaius Julius Cæsar Augustus]

None of which I see. Akragas is fully upgraded AFAIK, as is Rome. I have never seen a recruitment option for XIII or most of the legions for that matter. Only the ones I've mentioned and maybe the II, not sure.

[dvk901]

After the Reforms, and at a certain barracks level in Rome, no Legions are recruitable except the Praetorians. This is because during and after Augustus reign, no Legions were even allowed near Rome.

[rory o'kane]

Except Legiones I, II, and III Italica. But only Legio I Italica was levied during RS II's timeframe.

[Gaius Julius Cæsar Augustus]

So in other words there is no going back from Praetorians?

yes there is...
you can destroy the Castra Preatoria but you have to rebuilt the entire building tree up to roman fortress to be able to recruit the VII Augusta again...
Personally I think that would be nonsens though as the VII can be recruited in Capua and other Citys too

Off the top of my head, you need "supply of army rations" and citizenship to allow legion building. So figure out which of those you haven't done, and then do it. Then you can build numbered legions throughout Italy.

If you've figured out what to do at Rome, but not elsewhere, then I'm guessing you haven't given out extended Roman citizenship to your other cities. Citizenship requires a weapons metal import, a forum, and a Roman Oppidum provincial. (and a pre-citizenship level - either annexed region, or allied region).

No it doesnt.

And after patch .1a it only requires a marked, not forum.

[rory o'kane]

I'm confused as to why you'd want to... Since the legions are available all over the historical Roman Empire assuming you have the correct buildings constructed... So no, there's no way to go back, shy of demolishing the Castra Praetoria and then building them up again from the Oppidum tree.

[Gaius Julius Cæsar Augustus]

I have it this far. What else do I need?

edit: if i want legions such as the XIII.

[Dramatic Cat]

uhhh...


the imperial reforms?

maybe?

lul

[Gaius Julius Cæsar Augustus]

I'm well past the reforms.
