    I am aware that this is a major break from tradition, and that in the wrong hands this would be game breaking. This is why I am asking the player base before I do this. Rest assured Scaeva will not live long after doing this, so this will be very temporary.

    When it happens, is Merula away from the city, say, in sardinia with his legion? Because If the Consul is still in the city, I dont know how this could occur when he has a Senate loyal legio outside in the campus martius PM me

    Likely when you least expect it on a travel to the country.

    You've raised a legion already?! Jees...
    If thats true I might have to RP some epic catching of unpreparedness like Stamford bridge.

    I kind of find this unlikely. Are we in the Marian military period? Any time before that a levy of troops would need to be ratified by the senate, so unless you got mercenary's it wouldn't really make sense.

    @Jplay
    Yes it only takes 3 turns to recruit a legion using three cities that is....and having an abundance of money....

    @HDF
    Uh, I dont know if you were away or what, but the motion has already been passed to levy the second legion have a look in the forum its there somewhere among the many votes

    I know, I voted on it, but it has no mention of Scaeva taking over the legion and it's kind of irrelevant to the argument I pose anyways.

    If I might ask again, what period of military reforms are we in anyways, The way I could see it we could do the following

    1. Have Scaeva raise his own levy and march onto Rome, thus sparking the Marian (or "Scaevian") Reforms.
    2. Have Scaeva raise an army of mercenaries from various nations and march on Rome.

    Having Scaeva take over the second legion does not make sense since they're not professional soldiers yet, if Scaeva went and tried to get them to attack the heart of the Republic they would balk and ignore him.

    Just as a side note, I have been away on my apprenticeship for most days, and I haven't been as active as I like, sorry

    Exactly, That's why I'm skeptical about it.

    Scaeva wouldn't take over the second legion. Stamford bridge was where the english took the vikings unprepared and unarmoured, this just happened before Battle of Hastings.
    Scaeva has a levy, a semi professional (they defend the northern border but arent full time) standing defence force on the north border.

    Edit: I think Polybian reforms are up next, loosing Sicily has delayed them, a lot.

    Ironic that you use that example since I live in Hastings lol

    In that case I am fine with that now you've explained it.

    Glad that's sorted out, maybe we should start a thread to keep track of these armies? "The Legion's Role" or something, with the current commander etc
    Saves any more confusions like this, and will help when we do create more armies Just another idea from the ideas man

    Possibly be provincae or something of the like for each camp as tradition demands, if we can get some bloody activity it might even be fun.

    So wait, what your saying is that we have a camp for each legion in the provincae? That could be cool as then Dives could finally have a place to send his letters to Gaius to Oh and you can start your provincae thing now Drag, the motion has passed
