Description
Hi folks! In this mod I realized a sudden idea giving the Roman Empire additional versions of legionaries taken from romanized ethnics.

Working with the latest patch. For Grand Campaign, Caesar in Gaul and Emperor DLC.

The Regional Legionaries
While the Roman Empire is going to expand throughout the whole ancient world the Romans start to include native people in their Legions. It's a win-win situation: On the one han, the Roman army grows and, on the other hand, the people of defeated tribes and nations get the chance to become Roman citizen through 20 years of service in the army. It's absolutly historical and goes well to almost every unit mod.

The mod provides 21 individual legionaries from different ethnic groups. They are available with the same technology like legionaries but only in their "native regions" like Auxilar troups.

  • African Legionaries
  • Arabian Legionaries
  • Asian Legionaries
  • Bactrian Legionaries
  • Bosporus Legionaries
  • Briton Legionaries (CiG support)
  • Caucasian Legionaries
  • Celtic Legionaries (CiG support)
  • Eastern Legionaries
  • Egyptian Legionaries
  • Galatian Legionaries
  • Gallic Legionaries
  • Germanic Legionaries (CiG support)
  • Greek Legionaries (CiG support)
  • Iberian Legionaries
  • Illyrian Legionaries
  • North African Legionaries
  • Parthian Legionaries
  • Sarmatian Legionaries
  • Scythian Legionaries
  • Syrian Legionaries
  • Thracian Legionaries

You can recruit them in military barracks of the corresponding cultures or in Roman main barracks level 2-4. Some of them are part of garrisons in major city levels 3 and 4 of their culture. Each one has a unit cap of 10.

Armour, shields and weapons are like the original legionariy equipment. The skin depends on ethnic group. Helmets can vary depending on culture. They have almost the same stats like Roman legionaries but less recruitment cost, +5 upkeep cost and lower morale.

This mod is supported by my NordoPic Unti Cards. It is included in Part 5 of my NordoUnits Compilation.
German Translation can be found in the NordoGerman Mod Translation.

Compatibility
This mod only adds units so it's compatible with most other mods and save games too. It's designed for vanilla so I don't think you should use it for Radious, DEI or something like that. But you can try it out, I just have no guarrantee.

I wish someone would make this sort of mod, but for the basic auxiliaries (infantry, cavalry, archers). I'd love to see a mix of races in the auxilia, rather than all of them looking like Romans.

Service in the auxillary units led to citizenship, not in the legions. Only citizens served in the legions. The sons of the new citizens would often enlist in the same auxillary regiments as their fathers so non-roman citizen troops in the legions were quite rare. But I still like the mod.

is there a cohort version of this?

I found a solution for the corrupted text files, all names and descriptions should be visible now.

Should still work though

Wow I feel like an idiot, completely misread the mod. Thanks!

The legionaries are only available for Roman factions as soon as you're able to recruit legionaries and only in non-italic provinces.

This mod isn't working for me. I've tried in numerous campaigns and the legionaire is never an option for any factions. I would love to use this mod. Anything you think I might be doing wrong while using this mod?
