Historical Roman Legion Through Time

[CountArach]

Wonderland, out of interest, do you disband a legion after 16 years of service? Also, do you only use Consular legions for Consuls or pro-Consuls?

These are the things I'm using in my upcoming AAR :P

[Dooz]

Nope, I don't disband because there's no clear way of determining when a legion started. This is because I don't retrain, instead sending in fresh troops to merge with the depleted ones so there are constantly new men being brought in. Although I guess I could set a certain date when the legion officially is born and stick with that...... I'll think about that further.

And as far as Consular legions, I don't use them in EB because the trait system doesn't allow for Consuls too often. And when you do get them the Consulship is very short lived. I know it goes by historical amounts of years and all that, just doesn't make it very practical to have a Consular army. I did use them with RTR and the system that was implemented whereby there was a progression in the military career represented by ancillaries. I don't think it was native to RTR though, it was something added by an awesome modder. I really liked that system, miss it in EB.

Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to your AAR! I love RP things like that, I hope you have some other similar ideas up your sleeve.

A new legion should be created for every 3 provinces you controll. I tried that and "I gots da cash and da army" ....sry....

That should be implemented.

also dont get uptight with rules, or else you'll get frustrated keeping up with everything.

[CountArach]

Nah, I love complexity. It just gives me a more 'there' feel.

[Dooz]

Heh, me too. Differn't strokes, differn't folks!

[king hannibal]

should allies be in muiltipals and if they are is it for all periods of EB

I follow CountArach format but alter auxiliaries/allies based on the region the legion is based and/or needs of the army.
