a possible ROME UA

BoGo said:
It seems nonsense to me. Look on google for images of some italian cities as Lucca or Sulmona or the same Rome. You will find pictures of aqueducts still standing till our days. Terme (bath) were simply something different from aqueducts

We haven't seen the Baths graphic in the game. Maybe it includes an aqueduct on its tile. There is a lot of things that doesn't make sense in computer games. Eagle Warriors in 4000 BC and Aztecs that are good early on is one of the strangest ones to me, but you don't see me (or anyone) complaining about that. Gameplay always wins anyway.

Got to be honest, this is probably the worst suggestion i saw on this forum for an UA.

The more likely scenario is that Rome will be able to build medieval roads starting in the classical era with its legions

But wouldn't that be a unit ability as opposed to leader/civilization ability? And I agree with you that I definitely see Rome being able to do this.

I suppose that out could go either way. What if the Legion unit itself is part of the UA of Rome, like the Rough Riders and Redcoats? Of course, if that is the case, then that means that Rome has another UU.

Well, we know Rome UU - Legion, which is pretty logical.
We know Rome unique district - Baths.

Trajan is known for 2 things - military expansion and social welfare. This makes leader ability to be nearly anything on the military-civilian scale, but I'm pretty sure expansion is the key here, so Trajan ability is likely to have something with expanding empire through military.

So, if there's something about roads, it could be either linked to Legion (which is not that likely as this was the feature in Civ5) or to civilization ability.

Part of Rome's military expansion was due too their ability to build roads into the frontiers of their borders. This allowed for quick movement of the military for quick conquest. So roads do kinda tie into the military expansion trait.

I hope it's not the Legion that is able to build roads, it always felt very odd to me to send the glorious Roman Legion do a slave work, especially when their actual 'special ability' was to build forts in the matter of a few hours.
The ability to have builders (or only captured ones) able to build roads would be way more historical. And fun, just the idea to having hundreds of slaves forced to work is totally cool to enter the Roman fantasy.

EDIT : Wait, what ? Why was the thread moved to the Civ Beyond Earth forum ?

All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans done for us?

Actually, the ability for Legions to build roads plays in to history. Legions were a big factor in laying the road network and fortifications across the empire.

yes roads, baths but also the discipline of roman troops.

i like the idea, which i read in one forum. Rome gets some corps or even 1up ua
