Hi all,

Just registered to ask why Carthage gets access to this unit so early? I've only faced one (so far) in my Roman campaign (it could be a merc I guess...?) but it seems strange that my neighbours have an 'imitation' legion before I have a real legion (~245 B.C., I'm still in the Camilian period).

Are units such as imitation legions linked to Rome's progress? Or can they access them in any year? I'm not particularily frustrated, they haven't posed a problem yet as I've only me one, but considering they are as tough as my veteran Triarii, I have a fear that I'll see an army of them marching across the desert anytime soon.
