[EB] Thoughts on balancing Rome in a historical way

[vartan]

I did not say that they were any weaker, in fact, they were just as good as legions. The Batavi were apparently considered the best troops, even better than the legionaries. However, i just proposed that because it would be ahistorical to represent that both cost the same. My proposal for nerfing was to counteract the buffing of legions.

I'm losing track of all the posts, haha. So if we nerf them and their cost to counteract buffed legions, this is to allow Romans to get 20 units using factional troops alone? or was there a more critical reason?

I'm losing track of all the posts myself. With regards to your specific point, yes, it will hopefully allow them to do that. Remember, the merc count has to be increased upto 10 since the current 2 inf aux types do not reflect the sheer variety of Aux had. Therefore, these "mercs" effectively count as aux.

Did I not explain that I don't have my computer until Monday, and even then I must re-install everything? smh... :)

I forgot to tell them!

Yeah. I think Rome or perhaps only post-Marian Rome needs a high merc count.

Oh yeah completely agree; it should be mainly post-Marian Rome.

PS. I think a better way to explain my previous post is to say everyone is bringing their own idea/suggestion of what should be done with Rome, so the suggestions become mixed, garbled and confusing. I think a good way of separating suggestions is to look to its author.
