Call me lazy for not testing this myself (actually that would take several decades of an Imperial campaign), but what are people's observations of the General Upgrade function in 1.5?
Specifically, do non-Roman factions get their upgraded generals when they build a top-level government building (Royal palace etc.), or do they still have to wait for the Romans to achieve the Marius reforms like under 1.2?
As far as I know, the original intention (under 1.0 and 1.1) was for each faction to get its general upgrades dependent on its own progress, so you could have (for example) an upgraded Gaulish general's bodyguard facing pre-Marian Romans if the Gauls built their top-level government building first. But that didn't work for whatever reason, so in 1.2 it got connected to the Marian reforms. This made things kind of weird in that nobody's progress had any effect on their generals' units except for the Romans.
So what I'm really asking is, did the latest patch reinstate the independent general upgrades as they were supposed to be in 1.0/1.1, or are they left as a side-effect of Marius?
PS Any clarification from CA would be very much appreciated![]()
