Hey all,
Try Roma Surrectum. Numbered Legions in Area Specific recruiting (Legio III Gallica in Medolianum for example; no legions able to be recruited in Rome itself save the Praetorian and Roman [citizen] Auxiliaries) Also, if you're into late Roman Empire Invasio Barbarum is awesome. Also has numbered legions (although not as detailed, and the modders didn't include legion specific descriptions as the RS team did), and although I think they WAY overplay the barbarianization of the Roman army post-400 AD (the mod starts in 407 and if you play as the Western Roman Empire, the Goths sack Rome in about two turns) and it takes from 0 turns to recruit Germanic troops (Foederati, etc) to 1 turn for Limenatii (sp?) Milites and 3 turns for heavy infantry (Comitanses, Palaentie [again, sp?]) Cohorts (which due to unit size I call centuries).
I have a few awesome screenshots too big to post on the screenshot thread, of my late Roman Legions from IB fighting the Goths and Vandals in Gaul and Spain. Also, the good thing about IB is that is copies all your game files into a seperate folder so you can still play vanilla BI and RTW, something RS doesn't do (It uses RTW files essential for running BI, so with Roma Surrectum you'll have to copy the files over and re-run the new_UI.bat). Hence I have RS, IB, RTW vanilla, and BI vanilla playable on one computer.
just some of my personal notes, use em, abuse em, throw em away, but here they are.
