    Default Marines or Legionnaires?

    Guys,

    I was wondering if anyone know if those soldiers disembarking from the ships are marines that come with the ships or legionaries loaded on them to be transported? for example the siege of Carthage video. If they are marines, then how do i get my legionaries in a battle if I am doing a sea invasion to take a town? Do, I land then first, then combine their land attack with the ship marines? Just wondering, any help answering would be awesome!

    thanks,

    TotalKnight!

    I think they are simply legionnaries. I am not sure they are real marines ingame. I think that CA made no differences between marines and legionnaries. Tell me if I am wrong.

    The correct term is Legionary's as Legionnaires is French Foreign legion and Legionary is Roman but it seems that there aren't any Marines just normal troops on the ship

    Almost. You have used the possessive form of the singular noun. Legionary in plural form is legionaries.

    Like I said in SamueleD's thread, I think it's the crew of the ship, i.e. marines, but they can disembark and they have the same stats as the normal legionary cohort.
    We don't know what transport ships that can be built by the army look like, but if they are the same, i.e. quadreme, I believe we'd see the unit have 160 men, not 120.
