Hello to All! I'd like your advice on the historical accuracy of Rome's unit recruitment. After installing the main three parts of the DEI mod, I decided to install this mod with the Imperial Legions. After all that work, I decided to play the Julii campaign and see what was going on. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that in the recruitment mode, I could recruit in 278 BC a legion created in , for example, in 165 AD. And there are a whole bunch of such legions. So, how can I ensure historical accuracy and ensure the troop recruitment is time-correct? Please help me understand how this all works.

thank u for answering this quick. my bad i didn't read the beginnig

@Lambert, read the mod description, you shouldnt be using this version anymore, the Marcus Aurelius and Summary version is standalone (with their requisites) and no fix is needed. Follow that version which is actively mantained together with DeI

i have the error "Error: No class key assigned " with the marianique legion i use in this order :
- script fix
- units cards
- Roman Legion
- extravaganza
- Dei 1.5 X supply
- 41 units in armies
- return to glory
- Summary Dei more armies navies and edicts
- Dei Part 1, 2, 3
- Dei Traduction

if someone have an idea if it's a conflict between some mods but i think it's weird or my loading order or anything else

@praetorian, you head to the other version i did for para bellum, i've heard it works with vanilla as well, you can try para bellum too, its a nice overall mod that doesnt deviate too much from vanilla like DeI does

Can you use this mode without DeI mode ?

I can recruit all legions without the reforms?

Might be a bit selfish but please don't ever change the bullgod style unit cards, I love them! :)

@noniac can I use Rome HD for this mod instead? and also does it work with mod that add Roman unit like https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2911929586?

Somehow my legionaries have transperent torsos and no helmets.... how do I fix this? Does anybody have the same problem?

oh i'm still long gone, i opened to software earlier and have no memory of how to use it lmao. Glad i could be an inspiration though, I was still a teen when i did those so that honestly surprises me!

what i mean by the legions is, as in the legion mods I'd published, there were the original 15 Marius reforms ones that were basically principes using the old style shields with legionary art, they'd then get replaced.

then there was the upgrade to use the flat top/rounded side shields, a half way point between the marius reform legionaries and the imperial ones.

I haven't played vanilla in so long that I forgot it completely skipped legions using the pre marius republic era shield that featured in the original caesars legion mod

@centurion, hi!!!, happy to see you are still active, thought you were long gone from rome 2 modding scene before i was even long gone from the modding scene, well, ill add you to credits right now, and also, thanks for delivering your shield textures, it was the nostalgia from all those imperium surrectum legions from rome tw and your amazing shield desings that made me embark into modding in the first place and make the assets i will later use with your shields to end up in this legion mod. I did 3 or 4 desings of my own based on some recreation groups but they are nowhere near as good as your original ones

i dont know what you mean by "merge the caesar and augustus era" they are split into the vanilla progression system rome 2 has and dei mantains, i just made them upgradeable like you can do in vanilla, to their actually historically accurate imperial versions, when these legions were refounded or merged in real life.

Hello, as great as it is to see some of my texture work live on and continue to be enjoyed, there does seem to be a lack of crediting to either myself, or the AE team if you used some of the legion files from their mod :P

Also, pure interest here, I wondered what the reason was for merging the 1st and 2nd generations of legions seen in other mods, what i call the Caesar era and the augustus era?

cant train praetorian guards with these mod in italy?

Is there a Pretorian Guard Legion/Cohort ?

Would be great if you could also "un-limit" the imperial auxilia units ;) Nevertheless a great mod!

it looks like the new version has only 29 imperial legions but the original one has 39?

Love this mod just would be cool to see an upgradable unit for the late romans with the arm ( Manica)armour and greeves

Menuda pasada, sabes si podría funcionar con el mod Para Bellum ?

what other mods do you have for DEI that add units

Can you make a mod like this but with Paramilitary groups and Urban Cohorts

@Praetorian, not this one, look for the conversion i did of this mod to the other overhaul, ive been told it works with vanilla also, you can try it, i also suggest you check out the overhaul i made it for, its not as graphic intensive as dei and it integrates new units, population and other dei-like features without deviating too much from vanilla grahically

Hi Is this mod working without DEI ?

Do I have to research the Augustan Reform to get the Legions in the Grand campaign? Because I don't see any Legions for some reason.

@kmbd, what are you talking about? its exactly the same mod as mine with some fixes and improvements, and im out of the modding picture for now

But that mod is not as good as this one, and they said they won't be adding alot of imperial legions, can't you just fix the problem?

@kmbd, try the new and updated version by some fellow modders, link is in the description

How come I don't see any legions in the campaign when I upgrade the barracks, and in the recruitment slot there is no legions, can you explain whats going on?

@kmbd, this mod adds many more props to the soldiers than vanilla, that strains the gpu a lot more, its going to sound like a joke but try with a 3080

Mind if I ask why is it so slow for me when I do main campaign and custom battles?

guys, new and updated version of this mod by @Marcus Aurelius and @Summary, check it out, link is in the description

does it still work

my campaign got messed up, already passed the Imperial Reforms and was able to recruit Imperial Legionaries but after reloading the game after a day away units went back to Augustan Legions.

hope this gets updated to be fixed as the script fix no longer works

Can I use your mod in an upcoming mod I’m making for thrones? I’ll give credit 🤓

why can i only recruit the legions that have "*NEW*" in the description?

so the mod doesn't work with current (not beta) DEI update, right?

@B2TheW No it's the script , if its not updated for last DEi Update or Beta it won't work

I think its something to do with the main units tables but not sure

Error Unit has no class key assigned

Yeah i think DEI update broke this

Am I supposed to be able to recruit these units from turn 1? I have access to them before the Polybian reforms.

I have reached imperial reforms and researched the technology, but it is not giving me the option to change my marian legions to imperial. Is there something I am missing?

I can't recruit them, it says I have "no class key"

@noniac thanks for putting your effort in this great mod

@pablost233, if its still working as i set it up you should only be able to recruit the marian legions that participated in Cesar's campaign on gaul, not imperial, not all marian, only the ones he actually levied for that campaign

@jaime.n, it was actually known as the XIIII Gemina in all historical inscriptions and coins, im more inclined to think XIV Gemina is a modern "correction" over the historical name, its not an error, look it up

@Overyourhead, yes, go ahead

hey noniac could i use this mod with a new mod being made for thrones of britannia? it focuses on Caesars invasion of Britannia? i'll give credit

When I play the Caesar campaign in Gaul I can only recruit Imperial legions not the Marian legions :'(
