  1. There is a problem with the unit that will replace the Extraordinarius. The problem is that we are not sure what unit should be in the late Republic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_army_of_the_late_Republic Modern historians have also sometimes credited to Marius the abolition of Roman cavalry and light infantry and their replacement with auxilia. There is no direct evidence for this contention, which is driven largely by literary sources' silence on those branches after the 2nd century; continued inscriptional evidence attests both citizen cavalry and light infantry into the end of the republic.[53] The decline of Roman light infantry has been connected not to reform but cost. Because the logistical cost of supporting light infantry and heavy infantry was relatively similar, the Romans chose to deploy heavy infantry in extended and distant campaigns due to their greater combat effectiveness, especially when local levies could substitute for light infantry brought from Rome and Italy.
  2. I open this topic to Discuss a new gameplay already in Phab discussion. SUMMARY Swapping unit availability as before doesn't work when units are being trained while their production building loses access to train them. see https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/6888# I tested all three cases below and they all work. Note: Tooltip change and price increase as instant conversion is very strong.
  3. Check this gameplay, a lot criticism with the look of units. One thing I agree with him is that our javelin thrower does not have the wooden mechanism with which he throws the Mesoamerican javelin of Atlat. @Duileoga toma nota
  4. I didn't know that WOW had already added campaigns to his mod game.
  5. Urine Tax Collector https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecunia_non_olet A tax on the disposal of urine, an important ingredient to the Roman chemical industry, was first imposed by Emperor Nero under the name of vectigal urinae in the 1st century AD. The tax was removed after a while, but Vespasian re-enacted it around 70 AD in order to fill the treasury.[2] Vespasian imposed a urine tax on the distribution of urine from Rome's public urinals (the Roman lower classes urinated into pots, which were later emptied into cesspools). The urine collected from these public urinals was sold as an ingredient for several chemical processes. It was used in tanning, wool production, and also by launderers as a source of ammonia to clean and whiten woollen togas. The buyers of the urine paid the tax.
  6. About Dwarf seller The Roman Empire actually imported dwarves from around its territories to fight them in dwarf "battles" in the Colosseum's games (circa 100 AD). The Roman crowds apparently thought that was pretty funny, and it provided comic relief from all the real killing, so the officials running the Colosseum would base specialty acts around dwarves/midgets boxing each other, and would similarly showcase other 'foreign oddities' (ex. supposed Amazons) collected from around the empire.
  7. Honduras pero tengo muchos amigos argentinos en línea desde hace años.
  8. Do not take it as a reprimand or scolding. Delenda est is not as popular in multiplayer as the base game or the official civilization mods. I've rarely seen it in multiplayer I've never tried it. I almost always test developer versions
  9. It reminds me of a reprehensible (but funny) advertisement for the national women's day in my country. It said: we will give you sausage on women's day.
  10. I mean animal meat, No human sausage. Lol.
  11. Since A15 the balance of troops was chaotic. And it never took seriously the role of the units or the historical function on the battlefield. That's why that balance was better thought out in DE since it was conceived. But now for the first time without hard counters it has reached the same kind of quality.
  12. I a correct answer : By definition, auxiliae were any non-citizen troops supporting the Roman army. The nature of these troops’ training, quality and equipment varied and they were as diverse as teh timeline and evolution of the Roman army itself. As such you cannot have any definite answer to this question. It would be like asking whether the US Marine uses muskets in hand to hand combat since, you know, US Marines in the 1800s used muskets, and therefore so did the guys in Fallujah, right? In the earlier period of Roman rule, yes they did, but so did the legionaries themselvse, whether hoplites or as triarius. The Romans knew that they would need some spearmen, but not bother themselves so much about it themselves since allies can just provide them. As Rome expanded as an overseas empire, many tribesmen from Gaul, Iberia, Germans and Greeks would join the Romans as part of auxuilia corps.
  13. Are you going to use triarius? Or auxiliary infantry? Since after the Marian reform, very little has changed in the army until the time of Augustus. If it changed, it was very gradually, they did not change from one moment to another, the changes had already come from the public wars. slowly.
  14. The skirmisher.... There aren't many references because the skirmisher ( velite type) auxiliar start to disappear and the archers auxiliary are the new range infantry + slingers.
  15. https://www.youtube.com/live/DZZIOGwsWhk?si=p42PqFQAarMv2PlX When it has emojis it won't let me paste a video only the link.
  16. Isn't Spanish It sounds very strange language.
