Hehe, be ware, they will try their best to get it back ;)
P.S. Nice Egypt & Armenia, they will give you a big headache..
Get your own first cohort Garvanko! It's cheaper than Praetorian, has quite a large unit size and boosts morale.
A few days ago I have beaten three ERE first comitatenses with eagles. Now why didn't I get those eagles? Can you get those only when playing as a roman faction? I am currently playing as the sassanids.
you should be able to capture them if your not a ROman faction...however you probably do need to destroy the entire unit to get the eagle.
Maybe that wasnt the case.
:balloon2:
I have. But I only trained one unit in Rome, and its going to form part of a major offensive by my Faction Leader against the Scipii in Africa over the next few turns.Quote:

It says its taken it to Larissa, does it confer any bonuses? Do they enemy suffer a penalty for losing it?
If the senate are still around they are made to retrieve the Eagle.
I think the generals do gets vices for such events (Positive for the captuerer and negative for the one it was captured from).
I actually clicked on Larissa to see if it was there!:book: Nothing.Quote:

To be honest, two of the eagle units were destroyed entirely. Only one unit was able to flee. But as mentioned, the other two had eagles, too. I want those damn eagles!! :furious3:Quote:

In this case, the Brutii AI will give much higher priority to the taking of Larissa than other cities. That said, that won't have any impact if they've got no armies to do it with.
So, you can use Eagles to your advantage. Capture one at a specific city, then garrison it to full, all the enemy's armies will focus on it as you march on and take his other cities.
You get +1 Command with your Eagle Taker trait.Quote:

Yes, finally I got one :knight:
Its not a bug, it has to do with whether any of the soldiers had their wounds healed. In a battle with 3 1st Cohorts if you take them all down an Eagle is a dead cert.
As to traits, max +3 stars.
A late game BI Roman army will tend to have several first cohorts. It is a reliable way of veritable little army of ninja generals. They do not seem massively stronger than other elite units, though with a general nearby they almost seem unkillable, well they take a long time to rout. Defeating an army with them means a higher chance of having the battle commerated on the campaign map as an historic battle, though someone might have said that above.
I got my first eagle too! It's in my city now.. time to upgrade the walls and get more archery units for defence. let the WRE come!
I am ready! :)
very surprising feature....Garvanko are you playing RTW 1.5 ? or 1.3 ?
What do you mean by that they have healed their wounds? I`m pretty sure I took down three 1st cohorts, with no damage before the battle, and without getting an Eagle.Quote:

Wait, no.. I'm confused, do you get an eagle by beating a unit of those type of Romans, or do you send some type of spy in?
I think the captured eagle should be a retinue item...like the relics from barbarian invasion with something like an influence boost or something.
It doesnt seem fair that roman factions get banner and everyone else gets left out. It would be cool if every faction had a banner unit.
I think one mod gave eagles to all general units, I believe it was one version of Mundus Magnus. Actually, it made the game almost too easy, since almost every victory where the enemy general was killed gave an eagle (and therefor the eagle-capturing traits)
I've never caught an Eagle!:furious3:
:help:
You have to kill a 1st cohort unit, it be Marian or Dark Age.Quote:
