Poll: Should the Augustan Reforms be removed?

[Aemilius Paulus]

I do understand that "highly_trained" means that they will lose morale slower and regain it faster than "trained", but shouldn't the Principes also start out with higher morale?

I stated that 1vs1 a polybian principii would beat a legionaire... and moral doesn't matter in that case, does it?

still legionaires are better overall as a unit than princeps...

but casualty wise I think you would loose more legionaires than princeps given the fact that they have lower armor. (all of this before routing, legionaires are harder to rout...)

You also said that "statwise the marian legionaries are the same as polybian hastatii", which is blatantly false if one actually takes the time to check facts. But its so much easier to go with the rest of the crowd and complain about the stats for roman units.

As for armour, we work off a very strict table. If the reformata lose a bit of equipment that would offer them an armour bonus compare to the principes then that will show up. If the reformata are equipped with armour that is of a lower quality or quantity then its not something that can be blamed on us, blame the historical marian reforms.

No. Green troops are often more eager to fight than blooded ones, in particular when talking of not professional soldiers.

well I did say "if I remember"... I appologize still, I didn't had the stats at hand at that moment.

and at no moment I complained , I'm sorry if it seems as if I had , I understand the reasons of that decision, and in no way I blame the EB team...
