How will the Marian legions be avaible?

[Comrade Roboto]

Let me start to say thank you to everyone who works on this mod, in my eyes it's the Rome 2 we've always wanted.

I've just started playing as the Romans and I'm wondering when and how I will get the Marian legions and later ones. Is it through a specific technology or a building? Both? Also, how does recruitment work for those legions, are they AOR or available from every province?

When you have researched the Cohort Organisation tech in the military tech tree you unlock the Devided Assignments building tree. From that you can build the military colony. Now Legionaries are recruitable. They are kinda AOR units so you have different Legions in each province.

^ just one more thing worth mentioning is that military colonies are not the only way - I believe there are two branches of agricultural buildings that lead to legionary recruitment and both are tougher to attain than other farms.

I think it doesn't work anymore, they fixed this.

Seconding SkyLex. Divided Assignments --> Colonia Militaris is the only branch that allows recruitment of legionaries with the new update. Latifundia (Estates) allowed this previously but does no longer

Nice. Always thought that distinction was a bit odd, so it's good to see it updated.
