Well, hmmm ... thanks to florin80 I didn't get much sleep last night

[GusRoman]

After following his instructions, I was able to DL and install a working RTRPE!

I was playing for hours and stayed up long than I should have ... sheesh I have work you people! Now I'm all groggy scheming my plans for Roma instead of doing my work

Thanks for the help florin and the others.

Also ... I noticed a few things last night that made me curious.

Under unit traits for like Triarii it shows "Disciplined" and "Hardy". What effect do these and the other traits have? They aren't obvious like "Can hide in tall grass" or "Bonus when charging".

Thanks

Triarii are veteran legionaries, older, survivors of previous camapigns and hard fought battles

so they are obviously well trained and less likely to wet their tunics in a fight.

Hardy, well, they can take a serious beating. I have come out of battles with a mere handful of an original unit left, but they still stood in there like legends

they are the backbone of your army if the going gets tough, and can be used to rally nearby wavering troops

hope that helps

Actually hardy is referring to stamina with movement. Hardy units can travel farther at greater speeds and tire less. Very hardy can travel even farther.

[GusRoman]

Awsome thanks guys.

Is there any resource that shows all possible unit traits and abilities?

While we're on the subject of Triarii - why is it that they have lower attack than Princepes? Surely they're the toughest part of the legion right?

[Aedelric]

Triarii were also the oldest members of the army, the Principes being the slightly younger and fitter thirty somethings, I guess that is why they do more damage.

BUT they get a combat bonus versus cavalry. RTRPE does a good job of making you WANT to recruit them. In vanilla you got the barracks too late.

Cambridge dictionary definition:

hardy -
adjective
strong enough to bear extreme conditions or difficult situations

I would say it refers to both your and my definition

It's also a matter of armament and doctrine... Triari are a defensive minded spear armed unit...
In RTRPE, they actually amazed me a few times by their dedication at NOT routing while the rest of the army was fleeing, as their role was in real life (usually a sacrifice for naught, since I would usually run down the fleeing maniples with cavalry, peltastai and Elephants...)
