Disabling Vanilla Marian Reform requirements

[bobbin]

i forgot to also ask....using the example of bactria, if i follow your suggestion, which bodyguard will show up, the early, or the katphraktoi?

The Hetairoi Kataphraktoi wil be the bodyguard. I have done it myself.

One thing to note is that if you do this in a current game only generals that come of age after the change is made will get the Kataphraktoi bodyguards.

Also it has occured to me that if you start a new campaign your starting generals will have the old bodyguards as well, to change that you need to edit the descr_strat file.

Is there a list of factions that get units from the vanilla Marian Reforms? I didn't see one in the reforms section of the FAQ thread.

I'm thinking of starting an Epirus campaign and creating an empire in Italy but don't want to miss out (or have potential opponents not get the units if they'd make a big difference).

Everyone that does not have their own reform requirements uses the March of Time as a reference.

Bobbin, I once had a mercenary Eastern General that suddenly gained Baktrian cataphract bodyguards when the reform came...

Do all factions without unique reforms have units they don't get until the march of time then?

I suppose I'll have to leave the Romans alone and go after Greece then.

Only to say it again, Epeiros didn't get new units. So you can crush the Romani anytime.

Edit: Damn, didn't see this:

@Zim If your playing as Eprius you don't need to worry as they don't recieve any new stuff from the march of time event.

I should read more carefully.

Huh thats weird, maybe the game doesn't distinguish between recruited generals and family members, I think I've heard somewhere that mercenary generals count towards your family member count so it could be the case.

March of Time
Romans get 2 new ships
Koinon Hellenon get a Phalangite unit.
Makedon gets the Hysteroi Pezhetaroi
Hayasdan, Saka, Pontos, Parthia and Baktria get new bodyguards
