Marian reforms better then Imperial?

[Respenus]

Don't get me wrong, in fact I have no idea what I'm saying, as I haven't reached any of this reforms as of yet.

What I know of Romani reforms, the only thing that is better in the Imperial system that you can train legionaries almost everywhere (type II IIRC), but the Praetorians have to be recruited in Rome.

Sure you get more uber horseman, but what about Marian auxiliary units. From a little custom battle I played, they KICK A$$! I wouldn't want to change them for some puny aux units of the Imperium.

Do correct me if I wrong! Are there any other differences between Marian and Imperial? Any extra experience gained from players that have finished their Romani campaign? Do enlighten this poor Romani general!

The Marian Era only gets three Cavalry Auxilia, which remain in the Imperial Reforms. All of the other Auxilia actually require the Imperial Reform in order to get.

[Respenus]

Oh, I meant this aux:
Antesignani (Post Marian Elite Legionary Light Infantry)

Sorry, my bad. Light Infantry.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Oh, those guys are more of actual Legionaries.

I like the Auxilia Heavy Spearmen more then them, anyways. More numbers, more historically prevelent, easier to recruit, and they seem to do a better job at assisting standard Legionaries then the Anstesignani do.

Plus, in 080, when I got the Imperial Reforms, Anstesignani were available in both eras.

The Imperial Legionaries are a lil better, the new cavarly auxilia is better, and the new spearmen auxilia are more numerous.

OK, don't crucify me!

That's good to hear. I really like them, strong units, even though the Imperial aux might be better against cavalry.

How do you mean, they assist normal Legionaries better?

BTW, back to my original question. What is the recruitment difference between Marian and Imperial?
