I got this in my Romani campaign, except that when I took Gegovia I didn't recieve any notification that i got it back... is it broken? Still its kinda cool in rp srt of way.
Nice!!!
Never tried that. Guess I have to try loosing one once my Marian Reforms kick in in 23+ years...

Lose one to Gawjam~Heruskoz. that will be some nice roleplay! Or maybe lose an eagle to Seleuciea
Shame if it wouldnt work, I lost one to Eburonum once, when I crushed the rebels there with the second army I neither got a report I had it back.
I remember in my BI days I had a awesome general with the Alemanni, he used lombard berserkers and stole more than three eagles from the Eastern Roman Empire. He got the trait Eagle collector (+3 morale to all troops on the battlefield). His nickname was then: Rando "of the eagles"

How do you lose an eagle in this game? I've played hundreds of turns and it's never happened to me... -M
My Balloons:
Get marian (or imperial troops), get a first cohort and lose them (preferably with a large army when fighting another large army), then it will be taken to the nearest enemy town.

Is as I suspected, I got to get the Reforms and try loosing one to the Suebi Juggernaut just for RP sake.

Did you kill that general and lose the eagle in the first place with a captain? If at least one of those two battles featured your army being led by a captain, then it is quite obvious why the trait failed.
Ok, My General was seiging Gergovia in the first place. An army relieved the city and i destroyed both armies, killing the General that was hiding in Gergovia. Thats when I got the notification. There was a small army left in Gergovia after that battle so the next turn I assualted and won. Im not sure what happened.
Nice feature, didn't know that and now I'm looking forward to it in my romani campaign

Now thats interresting: I have never lost an eagle in RTW (although I never managed to win one either).
However I have heard of this - I remember to have read somewhere that if the officer who is carrying the eagle dies (unit doesn't have to rout and battle doesn't have to be lost) then it is lost but can be returned somehow. (I have no idea how )
Anyone ever managed to retake an eagle?
“Save us, o Lord, from the arrows of the Magyars.” - A prayer from the 10th century.
They did. Its a high school level book. Its called "Eagle of the Ninth" its not militaristic, but it about a lame centurion and his slave going over Hadrians wall to find the lost eagle. Its very intresting and a good read. I read couple years ago and I have been wanting to read it again for a while.
Caesar's lost eagle lost to the Blue Spaniards in the tv series Rome.

Cestius Gallus lost 1 eagle in the Jewish rebellion of 66 i believe.
I love the smell of bronze in the morning!
Campaigns completed: Vanilla Seleucid, EB 1.2. Carthaginian, RSII Pergamon
I lost an eagle to the Saka who had created a Parthian style Empire, in fact I lost my entire veteran army in a massive battle in Syria.
The eagle was taken to Palmyra and it took several years to take the city but I never got the eagle back!
