It would be a shame to lose the slingers - I love them.

The velites are superior to leves, so that's a boon.

I find it hard to find a role for rorarii, so would not miss them.

Accensi stay with Polybian. Leves and Rorarii go.

Rorarii are great for blocking enemy cavalry because their formation is so dense. I generally put a unit of rorarii on each legion's flank to take the brunt of any charging enemy flanking unit. They are also good for soaking up enemy javelins or shot.

So like Trithemius, warm bodies.....or cannon fodder is another term that you could use.

Javelin, sling-shot and arrow fodder would be more appropriate...

Pretty much, yeah. I tend to go by the personality of the general as to how much open contempt he has for the rorarii.
