    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    The marian reforms happen in 100 BC. That's why you'd want to get to it fast.

    I hit the Marian reforms about 230 BC or so... early cohorts, cohorts, praetorians; all of my old units obsolete.

    Says in the manual that it's random. Mine happened at around 220BC.

    Although I'm not a roman historian and I barely know what the Marian reforms even were (let alone when they happened), I do agree that they happen too fast. I say this because about 5 turns after I was able to recruitTrirarii, they were obsolete! So if the Marian reforms were at around 100-150 bc, I would actually prefer that so I can get more use out of my Trirarii and Principes.

    Maybe when someone decides to make a Rome version of Medmod, perhaps?

    Recruit Triarii.

    Yeah, I never got to build any triarii. I kept putting off building the structure for them so that I could build other things to keep population from revolting. Then the reforms came about 130 years early...

    I'm not fond of "recruiting" triarii either, but CA said they tried doing it other ways and it just didn't play right.

    It's weird that players are upset that certain historical events don't happen on the actual date, when you're essentially playing a game that lets you rewrite history.

    Don't you see the contradiction?

    I mean would you rather the game just proceed on the historical track and all you do is refight the battles. Oh but wait, what if you reverse the outcome of a famous battle .... hmmm.

    I don't understand I guess.
