nonsense!

even the other mega PBMs don't do that; if we are to stick with historical accuracy, this game would get boring; if we keep changing our legions and stuff, it would also get boring from the amount of marching around and move_character-ing we have to do, and keeping track of every legion's progress.
you may counter this argument by making an exaggerated statement like "then we might as well let everybody be consuls" or "well let's just create a hundred legions and steamroll everything". but that's also absurd. there needs to be balance between historical accuracy and making the game playable, without making it too slow or fast; and that should in the end be decided by the GM, for navarro's probably the one who knows what this game should be.

and it's the CoL who does disbanding and such, not the CoF.

Wow, why direct this to me? I'm not the only one askign for those 2 rules....
Just because I voiced them and now defend them doesn't mean this is my issue alone.

all this marching? Consider we will have provincial legions soon, and it won't be much longer until troops can be recruited in those provinces. So there will be not a lot of marching.
In fact, I even said they can be disbanded in any region that is roman territory.
Shipping the new legion is an logistical challenge, which will keep our expansion in check.
What's the use in conquering across the Hellespont if we can't even recruit units in greece?
That must be prevented..

Keeping track of legions? WOW, HUUUUGE EFFORT..
Upon creation: mention in the library or campus martius: Legion I -created sessions x-

At every freeze of save game, one of the consuls needs to check this, and act accordingly..
hohoho... huge effort and VERY complicated indeed...


And again, these rules are not for realism.
And they will not make the game too slow. Besides, with the current playerbase, we can't grow too big anyway.
