Perhaps you will make first cohorts recruitable outside Latium? At least for the human player? I never really understood why their recruitment was so restricted in EB1. Same with the evocati... there were veteran colonies outside of Italy, in the Imperial period at least, were there not? Just some thoughts/requests to make recruting accurate legions easier.

We will take your thoughts into account... Truth be told, while some work has been done on the Romans, they will probably be the last to be completed, since they will need by far the most work... And we have some surprises planned for the Romans... It will make the game enjoyable till the end in 180 AD playing as them.

Well... I gess my username says how much I'll enjoy this mod and the Sertoriani ^^
Nice previews btw! Waiting for more (specialy other iberians, germans and celts, barbaroi power ftw) =D!
Excelent job and good luck!

PS: And I vote NO to LS! After 4 or 5 years of playing EB it looks hugly to me compared to hamata (or scamata btw). Or at least different packs with or without it.

Though I dont wish to start another ugly LS debate, perhaps after a reform certain units could be made available in a hamata-wearing version and one wearing segmentata, with the LS-version having a higher upkeep cost (and slightly higher armour rating..?) to represent the increased expense of maintaining LS. That way it would be left to the player's discretion, as well as represent the accepted idea that LS was never really widespread. Of course, it would mean that you have one or two less unit slots to work with.

That's why you make the mod a Rome: Total War - Alexander mod, so that you have more unit slots to work with (see Diadochi: Total War).
