First Cohort

[Encaitar]

Has anyone been given any First Cohort Legionaries yet? If so, how did it happen/what did you do?

Yeah I got Early Legionary Cohorts and regular Legion Cohorts.
I got them really early because the Marian Reforms came about in my Imperial Campaign in 212 BC. BTW the Auxilia Cav especialy and Aux. spearmen are good fighters, but the glory of Rome is the Legions. Put 'em all together like the Romans did during the time period and watch your enemies fall.

OH yeah. I think I got the Reforms when I eliminated the Gauls. All I could think was that 212 BC was a bit early for the Reforms, but I was happy to get them

i got mine in like 230 b.c. i think victoria jibber-jabbered about completing a high tech barrack as being the trigger for the event.

First Cohort (or Early First Cohort for that matter).
i.e. The guys with the Legionary Eagles.

You can't recruit them, but supposedly get given them by the Senate. I've yet to be given any, and so what I'm wondering is if anyone has any info on what to do to get the Senate to give you some.

I got mine on 234 B.C. It was at the same time I completed Imperial Palace in Patvium. I'm just wondering if your level of tech affects how soon the reforms are coming.

I'm NOT talking Marius Reforms here people!

To repeat my previous post:
First Cohort (or Early First Cohort for that matter).
i.e. The guys with the Legionary Eagles. NOT the regular Legonaries or Early Legionaries that you can recruit post Marius reform. (Although of course the First Cohort guys are only available post Marius).

You can't recruit them, but supposedly get given them by the Senate. I've yet to be given any, and so what I'm wondering is if anyone has any info on what to do to get the Senate to give you some.
