I expected much more from you.Originally Posted by Watchman
Re: EB Historians Hear Me Out
What did you expect, then ? It's hardly breaking news the first segmentatas start turning up around that period. But they were yet anything but even remotely common at that time, not that they ever became particularly normative later either whatever the official goal might have been.
So how's any of it relevant to EB whose timeline caps out around that time if not slightly earlier ?

Armies started using segmented in 9 AD. EB ends in, what 14 AD?

Re: EB Historians Hear Me Out
So those five years merit another Roman reform, and another batch of Roman units?
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
Re: EB Historians Hear Me Out
from what i understand you want EB to add a unit which is wearing LS from 9-14 AD?
what a waste of a unit slot....

Apart from that, I'd like to meet some guys that have actually REACHED 14 AD with their campaign.

Re: EB Historians Hear Me Out
Well, that pretty much fills up the quota for LS threads for February. Please come again in March. Or should this be counted as March's LS thread, seeing as it's the last day of February? o.O

Re: EB Historians Hear Me Out
15 AD. I understand what you are saying, but this has been brought up before. In fact, IIRC there is even a segmentata find that predates Teutoberger Wald. The point is that it wasn't used in large numbers until about half a century later, and even at at it's height it was never used by the majority of the legions. It seems rather pointles to add another legionary unit that is wearing armour that would not become common until half a century, especially since the Romans are not exactly short on units and the mod is running out of model space.
