So does that mean the Marian reforms will be delayed or that I'll be able to build Triarii earlier? I really hope it's the latter because it's kind of a drag to have to spend decades to wait for your cities to grow so you can build all the necessary buildings in order to train units that should have been available from the start.
This doesn't only apply to the Romans of course. Take Companion cavalry for example; Alexander used them 50 years before the timeframe in RTW starts and you'll have to wait until what? 190 BC before any of your cities are big enough to support the building that can train them...
