Just like ERE did
Anyone used the Limes system for the ERE?
IN my recent campaign, its been a life-saver in handling two frontiers. AT one stage a quarter of provinces were under ERE rebels with Sassanian armies marching towards Antioch and Caesarea. The timely and build-up of forts in passes forming 2-3 layers held up the Sassanians for me to conduct an internal civil war against rebels. At the moments, its great as a tool in conducting dirty warfare against the Sassanids by blockading their mountain passes on their home territory while I spend time building up my expeditionary forces to attack the Sassanids Persian heartland.
On the western fronit, its another life-saver when I created two lines of forts (kinda like the Anastasian long walls) around Constantinople. They were impenetratable to potential invaders. In the end I dismantled them as I moved my fortification lines further west.
Constantine's reforms had a very practical purpose after all. Helps my keep a smaller army inside my borders and slows down the enemy.
