Everyone, you've actually already done the CoL stuff that turn (I mean, you uploaded the bloody save ), though of course there might be new things to change. So sure, go ahead, I'll upload a new save so my CoF changes stays. Then when you're done I take it back and end the turn (and post the CoF stuff. You were lucky though, I was just about to post the save and almost didn't see your post.

This is a great inconvenience to me though, so please don't miss the 24 hours again.

[everyone]

oh, ok sorry for the inconvenience, and more if you've already ended the turn...

edit:

Actually I was already under the impression that you gained points when you participated in a battle, commander or not.

I wasn't...but, all those ranks sound rather attainable/reasonable since you stated that

If you wanted historical compostition then it would be better to have 5 Hastati, 5 Principes and Triarii and modify the Triarii unit number to half that of the Hastati and the Principes. Then have 1 Equites,1 each of the Roman reserves and 1 family member. Then the senior Tribunus would gain command of an allied Legion which would consist of no Roman troops but Allies and Mercenaries recruited from Type 4 governments or ones with good Local Support barracks.

Seriously, that would make 1 legion almost afull stack....
insane and expensive.

Basically, and simplifying speaking: only the consul of the legions gets a full stack, all the others get half a stack, and the consul of finances gets a quarter stack to clean up rebels

Caivs Avrelivs Cotta (bean) has been attacked by two Epeirote armies, and there's a battle for him.

Please send the save to me through a PM when you're done instead of uploading it here, and don't close any scrolls.

Battle, Battle

Exactly my point mini. To keep it historical would mean spending a ridiculous amount of time and resources recruiting legions but keeping it the way it is now would be much more simpler and to be honest, from what I can see in the save game it looks perfectly fine.

well i'm not saying we have to do it like that.

Just suggested it, for I myself like to command a legion which I know is the real thing, you know :)
It doesn't have to be exactly what I said, but I do feel the necessity for:
1) uniform legions, with exact composition. Just like in ancient Rome
2) 1 legion can only be a half a stack. It was said throughout the world that Rome could beat anything with 4 good legions :) expressing the fact they were good without using numbers. Therefore we should always fight outnumbered.
3) if we use smaller legions, we actually stimulate the cooperation between players, as the provincial governor has to request aide if he feels he cannot beat the enemy alone, and many more possibilities like that.
4) representation of Rome's allies. Rome always fielded legions which had allies supporting them. (Usually these had to do the hard work aswel, eg: die :p)
