Spawning A Legionary Commander

[QuintusSertorius]

You automanage? I don't trust the AI to do anything. When AI-run factions can't even combine the units they already have, or build balanced armies in the first place, I'm not about to rely on it to recruit my units for me.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Can I just point out, once again, that the Roman units represent the Latin Allies as well and it is perfectly okay to have four legions with "Roman" troops.

Maybe in the later Polybian era when you could argue they fight a lot more like the Romans do, after a long time serving in their wars abroad.

Camillian, though? Not really, that's just making excuses to use better armies than you should.

This isn't some opinion from a player, you know. This is how the whole system was concepted by team members. It can't be making excuses if this is how its supposed to be (due to limitations on model and unit slots).

Even so, like Swordmaster said, if we're to assume all "Roman" units actually represent Latins and allies as well, what's the point of the Italic units?

[Foot]

They represent those nations who still had different military traditions (though they may well have also had some of their troops trained in a similar fashion to the Roman infantry), but it shouldn't stop people from having a full legion of camillian troops and feeling that it is ahistorical.

Is the allied half of the army flexible?
Cause im sending a Consular Army (which includes the Second) onto Masillia rather than tangling with Bonnonia and Mediolanium to get some experience with it before I start writing in earnest (although I will reference this campaign in the story), which makes supplies of Bruttian and Samnite Infantry hard to come by, so can I replace them wtih things like Masillian Medium Hoplites and things like that while remaining fairly accurate?

Then what's the point of units such as Bruttians, Lucanians and Samnites? There not just decoration in your recruitment options.
