I don't think "Urbanize" button is working. Never found a place where I could press it.

Great mod btw, loved the ability to repopulate "Fallen Empire" scenario.

Should work on towns that you produce via Form Township. Bear in mind that the ritual checks a 10x10 area around the caster for cities and if it finds even one, it cannot be cast.
Regardless, I will look into it further later.

It says it must be 5 squares away, provided I remembered to add the disclaimer.

nonearbyxreq is a bit less intuitive than nearbyxreq
nonearby1req creates a 3x3 exclusion zone centered on every terrain of the number listed
nonearby3req creates a 6x6 zone
nonearby5req creates a 10x10 zone
nonearby7req creates a 14x14 zone
nonearby99req crashes the game because it's not fixed yet

The "issue" here is that this is a nonlinear progression of exclusion. There may be a secondary issue that can be defined as a bug, but I've yet to run into it while debugging.

Man, modding is hard. Thank you for all the nice overhauls you made. I only play with them, haven't tryed all of them though. :winter2019happyyul:

Nah, it's easy for the most part. Only thing that's a pain in the ass is events and possibly anything to do with Voice of El (default rituals dont follow modding rules - probably due to relying on events - and no examples exist).
I have to say that the Marius legionaires feel a bit weaker than the ordinary Principes due to them having no javelins.
Second thing I'd have as a bit of a concern is the lack of "doubble" recruit options for the Marius Legions, as the random 10 recruits of the pre reform units was quite helpful for quick armies.
Maybe a second form legion could be possible for when you are emperor/god emperor?

Just a few thoughts.

Keep up the great work man.

That was the point of the Marian Reforms. The focus of the Roman military shifted from being a purely infantry fighting force with a few skirmishers to one that was well rounded and reliant on specialized corps of archers and cavalry to deal with specific threats.

The versatility afforded by this allowed the Legions to effectively fight off forces they wouldn't have otherwise been able to, and it shows here, too. And yes, I know the pilum didn't fall out of use post-reform, but there's little reason to use most of the rest of the roster if you can just keep using a single unit type for every fight and win by sheer volume of javelins.

As for a post-reform summoning ritual: maybe. Senator can't really make use of its limited recruitment pool in early game with only one or two citadels. Thus the ritual to help with early expansion. By the time you make it to emperor, you should typically have several forts or other citadels from which to muster armies.

I'm not saying nothing will change, but I will argue that the above reasoning is sound from both a thematic and a balancing perspective.
aaaah, I see.
Hopefully we can get some god emperor rituals to make them feel a bit more...
Godly?
Things like I don't know, blessings on praetorians.
Ghost legions for the god of the underworld or something like that.

Eventually.

Hey if we have an idea for a unit/ritual and made sure it worked first would you look at it?
Commisar Jon Fuklaw  [developer] 23 Sep, 2021 @ 4:15pm 
I never said I wouldn't.
Lord Carson 23 Sep, 2021 @ 8:24pm 
Ok i had an idea for moving the raise legion ritual from senator to centurion and leo commander making them into the legion themselves, I'll upload it and you could look at it.

I won't be adding more ritpows until I merge everything. Just as an FYI.
Lord Carson 24 Sep, 2021 @ 6:31am 
Ok ill make it base senator ritpow, Would you prefer the legion at highest number when casted with a reinforcement ritual, or them starting at lowest number with a reform chance to gain men with a -5 gold perturn malice?
