RS 2.6 Generic Legionary after Imperial Reforms?

[ImperatorCaesar]

Hi all

Quick question: I see that after you build the Circus Maximus in Rome, it triggers the Imperial Reforms, by which the generic legionaries are no longer available. The generic legionaries are one of my favorite looking units and I like to have access to them at all times after the reforms. I have taken a look at the export_descr_buildings in my Play_Rome folder to see if I could mod this so the generic legionaries are always available after both reforms but to no avail (Had been able to figure it out back in previous versions of RSII before).

I have gone through and changed most of the entries for these legions to the following in the EDB:

recruit "roman legionary" 0 requires factions { romans_brutii, } and marian_reforms

... but this doesn't seem to fix it, as I can not access these units anywhere in my game post-reforms.

I just wanted to know if there was something I am missing and had to fix before I could always access these generic units after the Marian reforms (and Imperial!). Is there a script running that permanently disables these legionaries after the Circus Maximus is built that I am missing?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Change the weapon tech type in this line:

stat_pri 12, 10, pilum_early, 50, 2, thrown, other , piercing, spear, 25, 1

Replace 'other' with 'blade'.....in both the Roman legionary and the 1st cohort. This will prevent them from disappearing.
Your changes in export_desc__buildings.txt have nothing to do with it.

That worked perfectly, thank you so much DVK!


I am loving how the game is playing with 2.6 I have already purchased Rome 2 Total War, played it for about 2-3 hours, and then I went back to my RSII campaign. I think it's testament to the quality of the game you and your team have provided. Thank you for all your help and for giving us this awesome game.

You could also 'not build the Circus Maximus' - which would make things more accurate too.

Hi guys. First of all sry for my english I have a small question about the legions of rome: I have build alles buildings in Rome aswell in Akragas. But I can only recruit the "Erly Praetorian Cohort" although i have build the " Praetorian Guard Training Grounds"? How do I get all the other units? Do i have to wait until a certain Year or what is it?Thx

You must build the 'Circus Maximus' in Rome and initiate the 'Imperial Reforms' before the Late Praetorians will appear. If you just build the Castra Praetoria, you'll still see the Early Praetorian units until the Imperial Reforms.

What does 'generic' stand for? Did I get it right that if I build Circus Maximus I will no longer be available to recruit named legions and all legions will turn into imperial ones which all will look the same?

Or does 'generic' means Polybian Hamata legions (those same looking)?

[LoGaL]

you got it wrong: when you trigger the reforms first phase you get the generic post marian legions(all units are the same): then by upgrading the barracks in the settlements you get the named and numbered hamate legions: if you build the circus maximus in rome , the generic post marian legions disappear, and you can recruit the name and numbered SEGMENTATA legions plus auxiliaries and stuff

Cool! Thanks for explanation. I always found Roman military buildings tree kinda comlex and lacking simple in-game explanation.
