    Thumbs up Re: Marian reforms in 1.2

    eggzactly! I've been holding off building that damn imperial palace for decades simply because of the old way. now i'm certainly going for the palaces outside italy! If i can get praetorians it'll make the game more interesting because it'll mean i have a unit that can't be easily retrained, without going with RTR.

    course the damn senate's probably going to build an imperial palace at some point, and there's no way to sabotage it. rats.

    FYI, the legions' tactics were eventually made obsolete by the heavy gothic cavalry of pre-darkage times. The fact is that i totally hate the sword biased roman legion and have always adored pike formations versus cavalry - why they never kept the triarii and had crappy cavalry i'll never know. How the HELL do you hold the line against cavalry armed with only a bloody short sword?
