Reform suggestions

[Atilius]

What about using the trigger generalfoughtfaction and have them fight Iberia and Carthage? Or any faction known to have chainmail and swords as a major part of their army?

That would work. However:

(1) I was responding to the question is it possible to have some kind of trigger in the script when a general battles against units using the gladius and units with chainmail?

(2) The transition from the Camillan to Polybian army involved much more than equipment. Whereas most light troops (rorarii and accensi) were placed behind the heavy infantry in the older army, all light troops are positioned in front of the Hastati in the Polybian system. To the extent that it did involve equipment changes, it was dependent on Roman citizens having access to it and the additional wealth necessary to purchase it.
