Europa Romanorum: Roman unit guide

[Disciple of Tacitus]

Excellent work sir. It is most impressive. Rome has just moved up the queue of factions to play next. Excellent work indeed.

[Tarkus]

Hey konny,

I just wanted to say once again how valuable I find your Unit Guide...it rocks seriously hard! I have a well-worn printout of your final map right next to my monitor and use it constantly.

Now I just need to remember to modify the client ruler movement penalty in all my Type IV governments...

But a BIG thank you once again for your great work!!!

[konny]

Thank you!

I do similar things for all factions that I play, last but not least because I need it for my house rules. May be I find the time to work some of them out as unit guides too.

[marodeur]

Most impressive work. And very helpful. Thanks a lot, Konny!

[NeoSpartan]

hum... interserting how you kept Gaul as an Allied region of Rome.

[konny]

I certainly wouldn't do so for roleplaying reasons. But if you want to get the maximum out of your MICs you'll have to. The problem is that the late Romans are terribly missing heavy cavalry. When your game goes more or less according to history than this will also be the time when you encounter the Eastern Kataphracts.

I would counter with the fact that they don't really need super-heavy cav. Just a decent dose of solid medium cav with infantry backup. Cohorts can quite effectively demolish katas once they get mired in melee. And it makes the late game fun to have a glaring deficiency, no?
I remember some nasty fights against AS catas when I reached Marians...
And if I hadn't said it before: great guide. Makes the Romans that much more fun when I get back to them after a brief sojurn.
