  • What should army be ?

    We have a leader available should we fill it with Legions or Heavy cav ??

    I would normally plump for Legions myself but a fast 3 movement army would be very useful right now ??

    Yeah, sure. Nothing like having a superfast army for one turn, just as long as it takes to get killed by Gallic swordsmen; And we could do nothing against it, since *all* other troops would be far behind.

    Let´s stick to legionaries! They are the most reliable force to compose an army of! They can defend well and will attack stronger. A two-movement legion is much better than a three-movement ex-cavalry-army.

      Heavy Cavalry. NOT only for attacking, but mostly to get a very efficient sweeper of enemy intrusions for the north-eastern territory. 1 move for in-out of the city, 2 attacks that kill anything you need to kill, zero chance of losing this unit. And, can get almost everywhere in a turn, and everywhere in two turns. A very handy tool.
      Seriously. Kung freaking fu.

          I actually meant to vote for cavalry but made a mistake so it needs one of Legions and one added to cavalry

              A special forces type of sweeper unit army sounds like what we need to help where needed with that large Celt and Scythian front. I like the idea and voted Cav. This discussion is why I left the GL in the city for my last turn. I knew that the Senate or the Next Emperor would have a use for him.

                Don't bother to manually do this. My voting mistake offsets this one.
