I must echo the views contained in Foot's posts, which is a much better attempt at representing the same view as mine. I like the idea of a pros/cons list.
I don't know about 1, 2, 4, and 6, but points 3 and 4 have been adressed before: First Cohorts are available at least in Cunctator's mini-mod and in future EB versions, and the phalanx formation as applied in RTW is simply not correct for hoplite styled units. Further discussion on these matters I'd rather see in its own topic, since it is not particularly relevant to this subject.Originally Posted by gran_guitarra
I'm sorry, but where are people using historical accuracy as an argument to remove the Augustan Reforms? No-one denies they are as historically accurate as possible. What is being debated is whether the resources they use are disproportionate or not, and if the changes were significant enough in history and in the context of the mod to warrant a seperate reform over the Marian units. In my opinion they do remove something from the mod, namely the fullest oppurtunity to more accurately represent the period the mod focuses on.Originally Posted by gran_guitarra
