Hip hip horray for eqvites extraordinares!

Internautus -- what year is it in your campaign? You must have done some serious military industrialization as I have never seen equites extraordinarii in my own Romani campaigns before the Polybian reforms...

Or perhaps I'm woefully inadequate in building up my own MICs fast enough...?

You only need to upgrade the roma barracks twice to see them, should be able to do that in 30 years.

I'm around 210 BCE. I haven't hit of Marian reforms yet but that's what I plan to do so I get Camillan, Polybian, and Post Marian units. I get equites extradoriarii fairly quickly in Arpi & Capua, and I'm even role playing but delaying my conquests & giving the AI money.

btw, who is internautus?

with polibian you can train the eqvites extraordinares, once marian hits say bye bye... well actually it will be YOU who killed all the nobles who fill the ranks of ur eqvites extraordinares... too bad engine limits does not allow to portray the HUGE civil war. But still it will be YOUR fault in ur campain.

Do we still get to keep our Camillian MICs?

It's the Roman spelling of the Gallic version of your name.

It's a Latin name I coined myself. An internautus would be somebody who travels or surfs the Internet, I guess.

Tarkus, you need to upgrade Roma city's military facilities to the max and then you'll get them. Only Roma, maybe a couple more cities in Italia proper offer them. They are a luxury and very expensive but after years of playing the Total War games I have gotten pretty good at managing the economy so I have the cash.
