I see its only available for the grand campaign, so could you possibly add this to the Imperator Augustus campaign?

I wonder why they just dont add this because rome should have praetorian guard as a general

this is a godsend i only play premarian online or in single player and i just cant get praetorians whilst staying pre marian from hardly any other mod besides dei thank you so much

save game compatible?

Yes

Anyone else getting mid battle crashes randomly at times from this? Not sure if that's whats going on?

Yes, it would be possible, and I used to have a mod that added sagittarii (but it wasn't public) before I got a new computer. I should make a new one when I have time, it's a good idea.

As for the veteran legionaries, I thought I'd already added them for grand campaign (but only after the required technology) and the Augustus campaign, but maybe I've misremembered?

Would it be possible to include a unit of Roman archers in the game, and put the veteran legionaries and cohorte de evocati back as the general's escort? would it also be legal to make it possible for the princely unit to be the general's escort since it is a unit of the Roman nobles, would it be possible to take the long-lance infantry out of the game?

Hi @Shotammr, love this mod. Would it be possible to also have this option in the Imperator Augustus campaign?

Should be updated now

I'm not sure why so many of you think it's broken because you can't recruit praetorian guard or praetorian cavalry as a general's guard unit right away. You have to unlock them after researching the correct technology, just like you unlock legionaries in the same way. Before that, you have praetorians only.

update please

Sorry for last post. Finally, I can select Preatorian Cavalry as general unit in main campaign. Just need to upgrade barracaks. Thanks for mod.

I can't chosee Praetorian Cavalry as general unit in main campaign. Can you update this mod please ? Thanks in advance.

update?

Outdated. Needs updating. Though it kinda works. Praetorians are there. But Praetorian Guards and Cavalry aren't. And one of them appears to have been replaced with First Cohort. Probably because it's outdated. Figures. Game only starts letting Me use ONE outdated Mod that only partially works anyway.

Is it possible if you can make this work with imperator augustus as well?

pls update

May this get an update please?

abel1717:
Yes, use it if you want, it's fine.
I only edited a few tables that in such a way that it can hardly be viewed as particularly special to me (anyone could have thought to do it, unlike adding custom units, for example), so you could perfectly well have created it yourself.

I need your permission to add it to my Realistic Legionary Tactics mod. I'll be honored to have your work added to it. You will get the proper credit.

*I have updated it and is ready to go as soon as you approve. I sent you a friend request, by the way.

please update thank you

Needs Updating

Likewise, it should be compatible with mods that edit unit size.

Yes, it should be compatible with reskins, because I didn't edit anything other than the tables associated with which units can be used as guards of the general.

In truth, I don't actually use this mod myself any more, so it is very low on my list of priorities.

does this mod work alongside" Praetorian Reskin - Gladiator Movie style Praetorian Guard and Praetorian Cavalry" mod?

Shotammr, could you make the regular Bodyguard and Legatus have double the men so they are more inline with the Praetorian Cavalry?
Also, just a personal prefrence, isnt having Praetrians from the go a bit over the top, specially when you already have the First Legion available? Seems a bit OP to have that fairly lategame unit at the start of the game.

@Sick#Rabbid:
I don't know which tables DEI edits, so I don't know. If DEI edits the commander_unit_permissions or unit_required_technologies, probably not.

@Finland's Famous Philly:
Same applies to any mods you have.

I have checked, and it should work for the Augustus campaign. Perhaps if this other mod edits the same tables, it will be incompatible.

A unit size mod should not affect this mod, nor vice versa. I shall check again which tables I edited. It might only work for the grand campaign.

I don't think it works for Augustus Campgain? Is it just because I have a mod that edits unit sizes?

DEI 1.1 compatible?

Sorry for the very long delay. I have now added eagle and first cohorts as general units for custom battle, grand campaign, and Imperator Augustus campaign.

I'm not sure about First Cohorts, but I know it was the Eagle Cohorts were very prestigeous positions in the army, arguably more than praetorians, and perhaps would have been used to guard the Generals. I just recommended First's because they are the equivalent to Eagle cohorts before the last reform, like how the 2 praetorian cohorts are ingame.

Would First and Eagle cohorts ever have been used to guard a general?

Do you think you can add First and Eagle Cohorts? And possibly restrict them and praetorians as well until you actually research them?

thankyou

Eὕρηκα! I have now got it to only allow praetorian guard and praetorian cavalry after researching cohort technology. If you feel that there is a more appropriate technology for unlocking them, please inform me.

The Caesar Of Gaming:
Alas, I cannot find any such line in any tables. I shall keep searching.

I do not know how exactly, but If you look at the other general units, you can probably find a line in the tables that sets it as a marian reforms general, but I'm going off of Rome I modding sense

The Caesar Of Gaming:
I would, if I could, but I know not how. If anyone can tell me how to I will do. This is only my second mod, though that may be a poor excuse.

Do you think you could restrict the Praetorian and Prae. Cav. units in Campaign to appear after the marian reforms? If you recruit a new general, you can have Praetorians on turn 1

I have now made it work on campaign (at least for me), but I don't know whether it's been updated properly when I pressed 'update'.

can i use them as body guard in camp ? i open your mod and only see custom_battle_pemission_table
