Augustan Reforms Question

[Africanus]

Thanks for thoughts and answers :)

It's now 142BC, Augustus is residing in Rome. He's got "hale and hearty" trait, so I'm hoping he'll manage to live to at least 66...

Kyrene has been annexed, Legions II, III and IV are in that vicinity (with at least 7 full yellow death stacks close by), slowly pushing Eastward. Pontus has become a minor power, and is making threatening noises around Byzantion. Legio Illyria has been recruited, Legio Thrakia has a "men wanted" poster on the wall.

Live long and prosper Augustus, but mostly just live long ;)

Be advised my Augustan Reforms kicked in at 142 B.C., just 20 years or so after I had the Marian Reforms, so you might not have to wait much longer if you have the other priorities met.

Please disband them immediately; I mean, these guys deserves a rest after 100 years of service. (who wouldn't?)
Let them go back to their families, there, they'll meet their great grandchildren, kiss them and they'll go back to their wifes in the family crypt.


Good point about flexing your muscles to keep the Getai at bay though.

LOL

They should be their "original's" grandchildren, wearing their Grandpa's outdated outfit.... all you need is give them a new shiny Gladius and Chainmail....

137 BC Summer...I've played ALL night again. I managed 4 yrs of game time, in 12 hrs straight real time (ouch)..I now have all of Africa minus Memphis, and two other Nile Ptol provinces, I have spent (don't laugh) 9 million mnai on this war (I bought 2 cities, bribed god knows how many stacks, and unbelievably 8 Ptol Fms in total) The Ptols had 55 provinces when I started on them, it got very, very crazy- every city needed me to beat at least 3 full stacks...it's quietened down a mite recently though, but you need a full garrison for every city within reach, cos the ai always seems to know....

:) I sorta roleplayed that they were stuck in their ways, and that new fangled manipular stuff was quite trendy, but the old fashioned Triarii Equipment was better (which sadly it is in stat/game terms)...The Armor was well cared for, and passed down through the generations.....and of course, they never saw active melee combat...

Going to the Triarii? Me? never ...;)

Hmm.... they should be moved to an Antesignani unit.. if you were in the Marian... first they are far better than Triarii, and second they are elite unit....

See my above post...I have full stack Camilan and Polybian all over the place (in potential trouble spots)...Im fighting 3 or 4 full stack battles per turn...just remembering which 1st cohort belongs to which Legio after retraining is quite enough, thank you ;)

You played for 12 hours?

Again?

Blimey, if I even thought of doing such a thing it would be divorce for me! No wonder I am nowhere near finishing even my first campaign. 12 hours play is prolly about 6 weeks worth of EB for me.
