    Get your own first cohort Garvanko! It's cheaper than Praetorian, has quite a large unit size and boosts morale.

    A few days ago I have beaten three ERE first comitatenses with eagles. Now why didn't I get those eagles? Can you get those only when playing as a roman faction? I am currently playing as the sassanids.

    you should be able to capture them if your not a ROman faction...however you probably do need to destroy the entire unit to get the eagle.

    Maybe that wasnt the case.

    To be honest, two of the eagle units were destroyed entirely. Only one unit was able to flee. But as mentioned, the other two had eagles, too. I want those damn eagles!!

    I think they should be sieging one of your cities, then when you sally and beat them and don't let the eagle unit flee (Any man will flee it) you will get an eagle. That's easy to do with Sass, just archer them to death. Then, when they start retreating charge at them.

    Wow, never knew you could capture a Legions eagle, pretty cool feature

    It says its taken it to Larissa, does it confer any bonuses? Do they enemy suffer a penalty for losing it?

Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    I have. But I only trained one unit in Rome, and its going to form part of a major offensive by my Faction Leader against the Scipii in Africa over the next few turns.
