    Default First Cohort

    What is the reason behind the First Cohort being a 200 man unit?

    Following the Marian Reforms Roman legions were composed of ten cohorts. The most prestigious among these was the first cohort or Cohors Prima. It was double in stength compared to the other nine cohorts. so i assume the DEI team made this decision in order to help reflect the realistic composition of real Roman legions.

    Woops my mistake, You are correct! I had forgotten that the doubled strength of first cohorts wasn"t introduced until the imperial reforms under Augustus, thanks for the correction!
