    Default Unlocking New Units

    I found the orignal R:TW to be much more entertaining than R:BI so I went back. In any case, I started a short campaign with the Brutii and now I'm just waiting for legionaries to become available. It's been a while now and I'm still using Hastati, Princepes, and Triarii. Is it because I chose short campaign now the cohorts wont become available? What year or what events need to take place in order to advance? I don't remember this taking so long before.

    You need to trigger the Marius Reforms in the game. You can do that by building a Pro-Consul Palace (I believe thats what its called), there is no set date for it though.

    Although I myself do not like it, as the cheaper units become less powerfull thus making my army cost more.

    Hm, I already have an army barracks, which is right before the urban barracks. Not sure which governor palace is needed for the army barracks, but I'm almost certain I already have the pro-consul palace. I'll check, thanks!

    I think you need an imperial palace on the Italian mainland but funnily enough syracuse is Ok.

    Yup I already have pro-consul palaces on both Croton and the other Brutii home settlement. I switched my capital to Sparta, if that has anything to do with it.

    You need an Imperial palace on the Italian penisula, or Sicily. Location of capitol has no effect.
