    I, vaguely, recall reading about a Roman legion being involved in a fight with a dragon. They also, iirc, sent the skin back to Rome as proof.

    Ha! found something.

    https://answersingenesis.org/dinosau...ind-the-tales/
    The Roman historian Cassius Dio recounted how a Roman army once killed a dragon. The original fragment from Book 11 of his Roman History, now lost, was repeated by John of Damascus (AD ~676–749), in his book On Dragons and Ghosts: “One day, when Regulus, a Roman consul, was fighting against Carthage, a dragon suddenly crept up and settled behind the wall of the Roman army. The Romans killed it by order of Regulus, skinned it and sent the hide to the Roman senate. When the dragon’s hide, as Dio says, was measured by order of the senate, it happened to be, amazingly, one hundred and twenty feet long, and the thickness was fitting to the length.”

    That's not to an academic certainty, but it's on the internet so it must be true.

    Rome fights dragons, therefore, dragons should be in the game.

    But what about Trolls? Any mention of them? We need the ancients' knowledge to combat them. Their numbers in the forum grow by the day.

    Random chance of battle against troll infestation every time a bridge is crossed!

    Edited to add:

    Nearly forgot. There'd need to be an pet companion named Billy "Goat" Gruff that could be gained from such battles which gives bonuii when caught on a bridge by trolls.

    That was some form of giant serpent in Africa, wasn't it?

    Here's another "horrible" suggestion for Pritanoi. A fourth option for captured troops; Release, Ransom, Enslave and Wicker Man.

    War elephants with flamethrower trunks. There's no historical evidence proving they didn't exist!

    Been advocating this for years now--they were the inspiration for mythic fire breathing dragons, obviously. Very upset to see this highly historical war mount not in game -3.14/10, would not calculate the circumference of EBII's circle again.

    Ahah! Checkmate! Take that EB II history researchers! Where are the reindeer and unicorn cavalry? There's absolutely no evidence to suggest that they didn't exist either.

    In fact, thanks to our North Korean comrades, we know unicorns existed for four years now.
    Only a petty, revisionistic game has the gall to hold it from us historically inclined gamers.

    Roma_Victrix, I just googled it, and we actually know for a fact they existed, because:
    The unicorn was depicted in ancient seals of the Indus Valley Civilization and was mentioned by the ancient Greeks in accounts of natural history by various writers, including Ctesias, Strabo, Pliny the Younger, and Aelian.
    With so much evidence their existence can't be denied.
    Hence my next suggestion: Unicorn kataphracts.

    Nah, Romans go for the overkill. The MG 42 AD heavy weapons team I showed you earlier is more of their style.

    Whenever you conquer every inch of the Mediterranean Sea or every inch of Atlantic coast, this is the video that should play in a pop up scroll:



    And after that, a new reform event will occur in which all your units are equipped with 90s-era Grunge rocker dude chain wallets like this guy's wearing.

    I would totally pay for a zombie plague in the end-game.

    You're in luck!
    The team just sent me an image from one of their latest unit concepts!



    Naturally, you will have to meet certain conditions to trigger the reform - hold 50 provinces, have an FM who is Mad, Paranoid and Studies the Occult. He also has to travel north, fight at least 5 battles against the Sc... Sweboz and get a big freaking sword as an ancillary.

    Once you gain the Archimedes ancillary, you should be able to build armies of mechanical soldiers.
