#Divide et impera reforms full#

each one has 1 general 3 socii hastati, 3 socii principes and 3 pedites extraordinarii with 2 leves, 2 socii equites and one equite extraodenarii I use them on each flank in triple acies. The reinforcing allies are made up of etruscan/samnite/etc hastati, principes and triarii. among other tweaks, like making room for unique auxiliaries. You could also switch out one of the triariis for a hastati or a velite, or more cavalry, depending on budget or enemy composition. In vanilla batles are too short so you can't make the best of it. I form them into a triple acies, which is actually a really good conservative formation with divide et impera battles when supported by other acies on the flanks. 5 hastati, 5 principes and 5 triarii, 1 general, 2 equites and 2 velites. I tend to have three armies one with 20 units in it. I love the camillan and polybian armies, something so antique and romantic about it. Spartan, Massalian, Illyrian, and Mossalian Hoplites, Apulian InfantryДЇor sieges I just have an army with a general a few balistas and maybe some levies to sacrifice themselves Lucanian Hoplites, Libyan Infantry, Alpine Phalanx, Celto-Hellenic Infantry, Greek Marines Taurisci Axemen, Campanian Hoplites, Scutarii, Ligurian Spearmen, Thureos Spears, Sardinian Mercs, Gallic Swordband, Asturian Axemen, Illergetes Soldiers, Mamertine Spearmen, Germanic Swordsmen And my camillan armies are just a huge mix of everything in italy.ДЇor me I try to be what I'm pretty sure is historical except using Marian Javelin Legionaires to try and use as much Proletarii as possible as foreigner goes away quicklyДў Socii Hastati or low but levy AoR from pool belowДў Socii Principes or decent level AoR from pool belowДЎ Pedites Extraordinarii or elite level AoR from pool belowДЎ Elite AoR cavalry (I can only think of Thessalians and Socii Equites Extraordinarii for the range)ДЎ Socii Equites or Light-Medium Cavalry AoR cavalry I just use tarantine cav as my early socii equites for the most part. In case I'm building a siege legion, I'd change 2 of the auxilia cav to a siege unit, and some auxiliary melee unit (swords or axes).Same here pretty much. In case I'm building a siege legion, I'd change 2 of the auxilia cav to a siege unit, and some auxiliary melee unit (swords or axes). Usually it's something like this: A general, a Cohort Prima, 2 veteran Legionaries (or the German veterans, but never both together), 7 standard legionaries, 1 legionary cav, 1 sword cav, and 2 normal cav (usually Gallic) or if available replace 1 with a shock cav, 2 Spear auxilia, and finally 3 archer auxilia (Cretan or Syrian archers). The important thing for me is the proportion of each unit type in keeping with historical references (and surprisingly it's quite cost effective, well maybe not for the cav).ДЇor the Marian legions I consider each unit a Cohort, and build up with that, so you have 10 Cohorts per legion + support auxiliary cav, spears, and archers. The Socii Equites could also be changed to Tarantine cav, but I just feel wrong about using them as Rome Sometimes I might change the Pedites to a heavy Hoplite unit, or the allied Principes to the Apulii shock infantry. Once I get lvl3 towns, I start using some AOR units such as the axmen, Italian swordsmen, and campanian hoplites (those 3 units will do you wonders until you capture Taras )ДЄfter the Polybian reforms my composition is more streamlined: A general, 2 Triarii, 4 Principes, 4 Hastati, 2 Velites, 1 Pedites Extraordinarii, 2 allied Principes, 2 allied Hastati, 1 Equites Extraordinarii, and 1 Socii Equites. usually 2 Triarii, 3 or 4 Principes, 4 slingers, and the rest are a mix of Hastati and Rorarii. So for camilian era: just a spam of whatever I could afford since at that time you will be in a life or death situation with Epirus.
