Why not spear cohorts?
The look awsome and give the romans a deacent spearmen unit
When the camel {S}thinks,it is time to leave the oassis!
its isn't historical. The romans used Auxilias as counter cavalry and support.
The urban cohorts were a police force, they were something between Town Watch and Legionaires... That's why they were made spearmen... Now, either we remove them from the game or we are going to make them be a stronger type of Town Watch recruitable only in Rome.
i know dito:) but ya just take urbans out
Urbans histroically garrisoned cities in the empire, not just in rme and they had spears anf chainmail, but the empire is a little towards the end of the game so...
We could some how script the town watch to disapear with the marian reforms?
Historically Urban Cohorts were formed in just 3 cities: Rome, Carthage and Lugdunum... All the other cities had Town Watch...
After reading up on the Urban Cohorts, they didn't replace the Town Watch. Rome still had the Town Watch for lighter duties. However, only Rome should have them in our game, for the Provincial Urban Cohorts did not start until Emperor Vespasian .
This leaves several options.
1) Take them out
2) Keep them in Rome, either as a separate unit or an upgrade of Town Watch (Kudos to whoever though of that idea first)
lets just have them be an upgrade of townwatch
Hey with the Vigiles (town watch), can we script them so that their presence lowers the damage done by disasters, since that their job (equally important as maintaining peace)?
These guys existed and was called Coe.... (?) something. I don't remember the Latin name at the moment - but I remmeber reading about them.-Bull Warriors
