Idea for a Roman Civ

Everyone probably have an idea for created a new Civ, here is mine.

In campaigns, there are both an infantry model, Legionary, and cavalry, Centurion. Instead of using these as a castle units here is something different.

​

Replace the two-handed swordsmen upgrade with a legionary upgrade. (no champion upgrade either)

The legionary unit would have more health than a champion but less damage than a two handed swordsmen. The focus is on health rather damage. Additionally it would become a sole gold cost as well. 35-45 Gold

​

In similar note, replace the cavalier upgrade with a Centurion upgrade. (no paladin upgrade)

Like the legionary unit, the upgrade would focus health rather than damage as well as a sole gold cost. (85-100 gold)

​

​

For the unique unit I would consider the 'Praetorian'

A very heavy infantry unit that costs only gold once again. 200-250 gold High damage with no bonus. High health/low armor. Perhaps make them fight un-armed in reference for Fallout New Vegas? The elite upgrade helps with their movement speed.

​

Unique techs

Aureus: each town center and castle grants a trickle of gold, .5-1 per second (castle age)

Decimation: Praetorian, Centurions, and Legionary gain health regen. (imperial age)

​

Civilization bonus

Villagers do not require a drop off for gold

Imperial age unit upgrades differ for the militia line and knight line.
