The Praetorian thing 15ish turns into the campaign... yeah... but a mod will fix that.

Now I can finally spend my time looking for real issues to complain about.
It's really nice that you can upgrade Hastati to Legionnaires. Legionnaires seem to have about the same stats as Princepes, except that I seemed to be losing a couple of stat points here and there when I upgraded the Princepes to Legionnaires.

A little OT but does the Roman AI upgrade it's units to Legionnaires?
They were eliminated too early in my current Carthage campaign for them to upgrade.
I think I'll play an eastern faction next and give Rome the opportunity to expand.
