A different way to roleplay the military hierarchy of the Romans

Yeah, I've also been thinking about the best way to roleplay the FM's of Romans.

I also think its a big flaw that EB only lets the "general" get traits in the army. I think they could have modded it in. In cities any FM there will get traits (as much as the governor, I think), so I don't know why they couldn't do the same in Armies.

For me, I leave the commanding to the older, more experienced men. Then when the boy grows up, with influence and ex senate offices, I give him an army to get experience with command. The only exception to this rule, is that I do immediately do one battle with the young FM in command. This will blood them in combat (and with a mini mod give them a command star). Imo, making them blooded and giving them one command star should reflect some of that 10 years of service that they should be doing.
