Lorica Segmentata

[Ionut Alex]

Hello and a Happy New Year to all

I was playing EB as the Getai and in a battle with the Romans I encountered a First Legionary Cohort and this gave me an idea. Most I bet would love to see the Lorica Segmentata in EB2 as would I so I have a small suggestion I know it requires a lot of work but the end result would be splendid

Can only the First Legionary Cohort be equipped with the Lorica Segmentata thus staying close to reality (quite late in the game not of large use because of the expenses of making such Armour) or can it be present only to the Praetorian Cohort (being an elite unit) I know the Praetorian Cohort saw little front line battle but (for me at least as a huge fan of this unit) it can still be used

and finally to rest my case we can safely say the Lorica Segmentata is a symbol of Rome in one way ore the other and personally I think it deserves its place in the game just for that

All the Best

Here you go:

Q: Will there be Lorica Segmentata in EB2?
A: Lorica Segmentata was not widely used within the games time frame. Even though it could be argued that it was used to a minimal extent at the very end of the time frame the team has decided not to include any Lorica Segmentata in the official EB2 releases.

There hasn't been one of these in a while.

And to you :-D

Can only the First Legionary Cohort be equipped with the Lorica Segmentata thus staying close to reality (quite late in the game not of large use because of the expenses of making such Armour) or can it be present only to the Praetorian Cohort (being an elite unit) I know the Praetorian Cohort saw little front line battle but (for me at least as a huge fan of this unit) it can still be used

In EB's timeframe what we refer to as LS was not at all widespread, it would be a bit like having German late war units in a WWII game suddenly have H & K G3s.

and finally to rest my case we can safely say the Lorica Segmentata is a symbol of Rome in one way ore the other and personally I think it deserves its place in the game just for that

In popular perception of history yes, but EB is exactly not that. EB is for those with real historical knowledge besides what you can get from watching THC and films like 300. LS belongs in RTW Vanilla IMO, let us nerds have things realistic.

All the Best

To you as well, happy new year again.

Aw geez, not this **** again.

I know...I know...

people should read FAQ's for goodness sake, but hey, how many actually do?


anyways; nice sig, but poor grammar: it should be khaleefatu ul-islam (Caliph of islam), or al-khilaafatu ul-islaamiyyatu (the muslim caliphate).

now if you meant: "conflicts of islam", then its "khilafaatu ul-islaami".
