A pretty simple explanation of Roman military tactics can be found in books by Adrian Goldsworthy. Complete with pretty diagrams and depictions of Roman soldiers. Can probably be found in just about any library with a decent selection of ancient history books.

If you use google translate, the Marian Reforms are the Mario Reforms.

The Mario Reforms are something different. Their only requirement is that you find a magic mushroom. Then your legionaries are twice as tall and have 2HP.

Can you find one that makes them fart fire, too ?
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

The Romans already come with feathers, so it will also allow them to fly. If you get the fire mushroom you won't be able to fly any more.
Re: Roman manipular formations and tactics...unfortunately in Spanish:embarassed:
from some prior posts i've read(similar subject different thread) and thinking about the answers they gave i agree that fighting with the gaps is bad idea. Instead think of the gaps being closed in the first line so that when the prinicipes begin to advance the hastati can run back through the holes and then the holes close quickly behind them as a new line is made of principes
FROM FAR OFF:
has____has____has
___prin____prin___
WHEN THE BATTLE BEGINS
hashashas
__prin___prin
HASTATI retrat
has_prin_has_prin
Prin reform line
prinprin
__has__has_has
i know thats very basic and not a great illustration but i think it get s the point across, maybe
