Fionn Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 (How) do you plan to include the Marian Reforms for the Republican Romans? Will it be a technology that converts all infantry into legionnaires, or will legionnaires simply be a separate unit from the velites, hastati, etc? Like most of my topics, this is a bit trivial but just out of curiosity I would like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiram Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Marian reforms are not going to be in the game until the second part of the game, with the imperial romans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilanus Commodor Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Will it be a technology that converts all infantry into legionnaires, or will legionnaires simply be a separate unit from the velites, hastati, etc? The Marian reforms especially affected the Hastati, Principes and Triarii. These troop types turned into one new unit type, the names were still in use though. However, this was not the only change, but it's the change the Marian Reforms are commonly known for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) No Marian Reforms in Part 1. Part 1 covers 2nd Punic War era for the Romans and Carthaginians. I once had the idea to include Marian Reforms in a patch, but who knows if that will happen. Marian legionnaires are definitely included in the Atlas scenario editor though.

Fionn Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 So the Imperial Roman faction also covers the late Republicans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 My idea was to do a patch that would span between the Republican Romans and Imperial Romans (covering the Marian Reforms and the time of Pompeii, Antony and Cleopatra, and Caesar, the Successor Kingdoms, etc.), then the Imperial Romans in Part 2 would be Trajan and Hadrian's Romans.

I'd be interested in seeing if your idea somehow goes through. Edited December 16, 2009 by Fionn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
