Hm.. maybe you should make it easier to get the imperial reform at an earlier age? The Cohors Impretoria are REALLY cool, and I dont think I would like to see some boring archers or whatever replace them :P

Most people plays rome the most, many people only plays as rome. I've never even got the first reform myself, but I dont mind having the roman faction really indept. The roman camp is really epic, I like that.
