Marius Reforms question

[[DnC]]

Is it possible to assign "and marian_reforms" (in the export_descr_buildings.txt) to non-roman factions and have the units work when the Romans get the "Gaius Marius Reforms" event (and ofcourse they won't be buildable before it)?
Has anyone tested this yet?

I personally would like to assign Silver Shield, Armenian and Numidian Legionaries to the event and rather not see the Seleucids, Armenians and Numidians running around with these units before the Romans get their Legionaries.

Yes, any unit or building can use this as a requirement.

Cheers! Thanks for the reply.

I have another question about the Marian reform.

Is it possible to change the date of the trigger ?
In descr_events, there's
";event a_new_man__gaius_marius
;date 154 summer"

Obviously, it is the trigger for the Marius reform. But what are the ';' for ? Are they relevant to the trigger, or can I change the date with no fear ?

You notice the semi-colon before this... it is commented out so this event does not occur... I think it is a legacy entry from before the addition of the dynamically determined Marius Reforms date...

Wonder if it would still work if you uncommented it?

Perhaps yu could make the construction of Imperial places then dependant on the Marius event itself forcing it to occur on a specific date???

Well, what I'd like to do is to have a kind of reform event for hellenistic faction in the Successors TW mod.

I haven't played RTW 1.2 so I don't really know how does the reform work now, but I think that a roman faction must build the reform building (governor's palace) in Italy so the reform happens. Is that true ?

[Bob the Insane]

It is triggered by the building of an Imperial Place in the Roman homelands, but can not occur before 220BC and apparantly has an additional random element because people have reported meeting the first two requirements without yet getting the Marius event..

Don't add the Numidian and Armenian legionaries to the Marius list. They are 'only' Principes in effect. But the Silver Shields are of course perfectly ok. In fact I think I will add them myself.

[[DnC]]

Still Kraxis i.m.o. it looks odd seeing Armenian and Numidian Legionaries walking around before the Romans get such Legionaries. It makes the Marius Reforms also more interesting this way.

While looking through vanilla RTW files, I noticed an "italy" ressource in some provinces (guess what, in Italian provinces).

Anyway, that might be the way to allow other faction to trigger the Marius reform : adding the Italy ressource in their provinces.

[Myrddraal]

I noticed that too, though if you try to add it to a provincial campaign, it crashed for me...

Since most immitation legionaries were in fact created long before Marius was even born I think it is fair to let the Armenians and Numidians get them as their stats fit that. The Silvers Shield on the other hand are made into imperial style cohorts so they would have to stay on the other side.
