[devdev142]

hi i was wondering if anybody had any recomendations for the make-up of a historical army

[Gaius Baltar]

For Pre-Marian Reforum Romans

Try:

4 Hastati
4 Principe
2 Triarri
1 general

[dutch81]

For what faction? It kind of makes a difference!

[devdev142]

for rome

[dutch81]

2 skirmisher (velites only or 1 velite / 1 slinger)
2 hastati
2 principes
1 triari
1 general

double this army for a consular army

post marius
1 general
1 first cohort
9 cohorts
1 cavalry

Dutch, you forgot the auxilliaries. A couple of barbarian cavalry mercs perhaps, or some other allied tribe.
