Thread: Red colour for romans
Is it realistic to see the post-marian legionaries with red tunics and red shields?
sure that legionaires possessed a certain uniformity in equipment, but I am not sure that the simple soldiers dressed in red and had a well-decorated red shields(like EB1 post-marian legionary).
so, can we expect radical changes in the skins of the Romans or not?

If you use the search function in the EB forums you'll know the awnser.

For the sake of historical accuracy, their eyebrows should be whatever colour each individual soldier is willing to pay for his respective eyebrows.Red ones, yes.

Except after the Marian reforms, when those are provided by the employer instead.For the sake of historical accuracy, their eyebrows should be whatever colour each individual soldier is willing to pay for his respective eyebrows.
And will probably have been made by the lowest bidder.

They may then have no eyebrows (cheap ones at best).Except after the Marian reforms, when those are provided by the employer instead.

With no eyebrows, it is logical to conclude that their face will be colder during the winter especially when invading the Sweboz in northern Europe. We need to give all Roman soldiers a penalty in snow to represent this.They may then have no eyebrows (cheap ones at best).

No kidding. And with the Sweboz warriors providing (for the most part) their own arms, I'm sure most of them will be wise enough to bring along suitable eyebrows.

Blonde, for the most part. Big and Bushy. For obvious reasons, they should receive bonuses for fighting in the frigid north winters.

I can only hope somebody on the EB team is writing this down. We wouldn't want eyebrow-less Roman's trampling all over the bushy Sweboz in the middle of January as if they were strolling on a Spanish beach in mid July!No kidding.

Who but Gaesatae and their clothing-lacking brethren would think of packing such gear? The heavy weight for only a little bit of extra protection is wasted on anything else.
I would be frightened of a gaesetae with a heavy bush. Wouldn't you?

Stop screwing around, ACIN, and stay on topic.And there we have it people. In b4 teh lock.
The first couple spams were actually kind of funny.
Then it went to plain old spam that needs to be locked.

This is just a few people that if they were gone from here we would probably not be having these problems. I will bring this up on the internal forum - I'm sick and tired of this foolishness derailing multiple threads.
