How to get...

decere - Only with Neptune's pantheon (Lv 5 Scipii temple) 3 Turns to build one.

1st Legionary cohort (eagle) - I'm sorry but no, only the old women of the senate can give you them.

Wait... wth's a decere...? Is it possible I've missed a unit in all my weeks of playing RTW?...

*grumbles about stupid server which swallowed his first reply*

Anyway mate Deceres are ships which only the House of Scipii can build, the House of Scipii gets the strongest navy in the game

An Awesome Temple of Neptune allows them to build a Corvus Quinqereme which is a slightly stronger quinqereme vessel.

A Pantheon of Neptune allows them to build a Decere, which takes three turns to construct and is desribed in the unit description as 'a Dreadnought of the ancient world'.

The temples also allow Scipii Admirals in port to pick up 'Priest of Neptune' ancillaries which aid their command rating.

Oh I see, I see. Thanks for the info

...stupid naval warfare system...

No surprise you miss it.

The damned decere is very, very rare indeed. Only the Romans got it, and only the Scipii can build it, after one of their cities become a huge city and built the Pantheon of Neptune, that is... and has no ship picture! I hate the ugly peasants representing the "Behemoth of the Mediterranean!"

Is anyone here knows how mod the ship speed? It seems funny that I can't get across from Carthage to Carthago Nova within 6 months, or even a year.

Any help would be appreciated

A fleet of Decere's is very rare but much powerful. A fleet of 4 decere's of mine sent fleets twice there number packing taking 15% casualties.

The Deceres in my version (normal 1.1) have the appropriate pictures and all so it must be another problem with yours Antochus.

I get the picture all and well. So I wonder why some people don't get it. I have not touched the files at all. Could that be the problem you guys don't get it?
And yes, the Deceres is a very impressive ship to both look at and use.
I had a single one of them (transporting an important army) take out an Egyptian navy of 5 ships... BAM!

It can happen to anybodies copy of the game. What makes it more likely to happen is cheating and poorly made mods. I myself have had scre ups in the unit card graphics after prodigious use of the process_cq cheat. And even now rebel gladiators look funny and gray. Mods I am using are the admirals commnad star fix and the 1 turn build mod.
