First Cohort

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.

Ok....in that case.

I just got one them a few turns ago as a reward form the Senate, for taking a rebel town that was once mine. 122 man unit with the Legionary Eagle.

Thanks... long morning... I needed this.

After the Maid Marian Reforms look for a Senate mission offering "one of the best units available to you."

This should give you one of them.

The biggest question for me is can they be retrained?

Kind of pointless for me to use them if they will slowly dwindle away from casualties.

Would like to see the legionary standard on the battlefield.

I need that extra touch to make my Carthaginian Palace complete.

I think they are supposed to give a morale boost on the field. So they might be handy to carry around like Triarii were used: back up the line with this powerful reserve and lend courage to those fighting.
