And Navarro: we look at it this way: the legion was send home, it was AFTER that, that the epeiros invasion begun.
If you promise troops a discharge, then hold them in a city which is not their home (Tarentum is IC not their home) and then tell them they have to back to the front... That's askign for a mutiny.

There is NOBODY saying the timing is perfect, nor even good.
But we should find another solution for it, because now we're taking the easy way out.

Let's leave the AI some advantages, please.
Otherwise if we keep this up, we're going to steamroll the map.
Money enough, legions enough and an AI unable to catch us offguard.

If that's the game this is going to be, I'll bail out now and hope that the lotr follow up is any good.

psst Bologna! First of all, no more of this "there not in their home" crap. Who is any one here to say that ALL of those troops are only from Rome. In fact, cept for the triarii, most of them arent. The CoF does a pretty good job of utilizing every city for unit recruitment. Second, until a front is truly closed (epeiros is wiped out/ ceasefire is made) no order for them to be disbanded was given. The rule, nor orders, were given to discharge the men, only to give them a time of leave. They have now had 9 months of sitting around. They get a full year after this turn, and possibly more if there just sitting in illyria defending.

Here is how it will play it out, after either a ceasefire or an annexation is made with Epeiros, then I will allow the decommissioning of Legio II, along with Legio I once Sicilia is taken.
