Two Qestions.

Wed May 29, 2013 4:06 pm

Hello

I have two questions, one related to history and one related to game settings.

- In Marius Vs Sulla scenario, you have the city of Corinthium, in greece, but at that time (-87 bc) I thought that the city were already destroyed and was only rebuilt by Caesar.
- In Pompey Vs Caresar scenario, Pompey has to légions in Macedonia, but one of them is already half-a-legion, with five cohorts, so i have to buy replacements to complete it. Is it WAD? If yes, why?

Revan - While I am not an historian, I do agree with your history of Corinth. But if you think in game terms and not in strict historical terms, the same city was important throughout all this time. So only a minor deviation to have it as a full city for this scenario.
Knowing your history as well as you do, you might remember the legions in Macedonia were loyal to Caesar, though technically Pompey's. This is represented by making the units half strength.

For Corinthos, you're right. We fixed that for the next patch.
Legions : Because Pompey must create an army from all legions, cohorts, from all provinces... to fight Caesar.

The units are not half-strength, but half-composed, it's not that the cohorts are depleted to the middle of the block, it's that you have only five cohorts in it, which is much more costly and time-consuming to rebuild. And it's only one legion, so i found it rather strange.

However I know that the two italian légions that Pomey bring with him was loyal to Caesar, but I thought that the two legion based in Thessalonica was composed of Pompey's men.


El Ninio : Thanks
In fact, you have not too many things to build. A very reactive pompey player can evacuate almost four of the seven spanish legions before the lock, with the two italian legions, the two macedonian legions and the two asian légions you have a ten legion army (more will be a logistical nightmare), and good legions. You add some allied forces and you have your army.
