Atraphoenix' RS Legions Adaptation for ALEXANDER EB

**bigmilt16** · 07-29-2009, 03:31

So I popped it in and fired up my Roman campaign, and one character was assigned and ancillary giving him command of the 1st legion (Itallica). I played for a few decades and I conquered a few provinces but I never gained any more ancillaries (commands) to dole out. How does the mod work exactly? Either way, looks very promising! Nice to have a character actually be "in command" just as some characters are pure politicians as shown through their traits.

you have to wait for marians for named legions and conquer at least 50 cities to get my offices in EOM.
I have adapted EBBS that when I conquer 50 cities I both get marians and my marian legions and my offices.

In which sections have you made these changes? And what are these?
Does it mean that the "new offices" require just the condition of "Marian reforms took place", so if I want to change the conditions of all 3 changes (marians' date, offices and legions) the only change I have to do is to change conditions for Marian reforms and other changes will result automatically?

In fact I also modded EBBS before to get marians earlier, but not as early...

but you will have Republican legions lists shown in the first message (units not offices) with marians and imperials legions with augustan reforms.
so you need 50 cities to get my offices but no reforms but era legions needs their era reform plus after imperial (augustan) reform you will still have republican legions.
As I loved all units in EB I did not cut any entry that means you will not have 1st Cohorts because of limitations.

OK, thanks for explanation.
One more thing: is it possible that Yoy could make a list of recruitment areas of these RS-adapted legions? The AOR map is based upon RS regions, not the EB ones, so making a list based upon EB map would be of great use for this mod I think...
The offices are tied to specific cities and this can be pretty easily takne out of the ancillaries file, yet the AOR of the legions is a bigger problem - could you do that? So the players would know, where they can get their legions from...

Do not worry this weekend I will start a new AAR and will release my AOR on EB map.
At the moment I am trying to adapt this mod with full alexander EB so I will cut some parts namely I will delete some entries in EDU because I think maximus used up all EDU.
so if you have any idea on which units to be cut be appreciated.
at the moment I plan to cut EB legions that may give me at most 10 free unit entry but I need many more

so after I adapted my mod with full alexander EB you may see my AOR map.

P.S. instead of number system I will return back my ex-trait system namely you will have marians with marian reforms and you will have marians, augustan and pratorians with augustan reform.
Also I plan to merge my EOM, Realist movement, Askhanian mods with this mod so it will be like a total conversion mod so please be patient I need time, also I must work in real life in just sundays I have no chance to create it.

Well, I've never played Maximus' Alexander EB - I just use EB on ALX.exe, with lz3's minimod pack, as well as your mods; so the legions' AOR map will be veery appreciated.
