This is the basic unit of the Roman army. It is expensive compared to the Teutonic and Gallic beginning units, but has a significantly higher defense than the Teutonic Clubswinger and much higher offense than the Gallic Phalanx. He is good at defending against cavalry, especially when combined with Praetorians. This is all-rounder infantry unit, designed for all-purpose combat. This is your ultimate Roman regular infantry, such as reinforcement & support for counter-attacking.
Usage[]
The Legionnaire is a versatile unit; designed to support other, more specialised units in battles. Due to it's good defense against cavalry (which is 50), it's will make good use when defending with Praetorian with its defense against infantry (65). Making it an able defense and all types of attacking forces. However, it's defense against infantry (35), which isn't it's speciality of the Legionnaire; should not be too relied on.
Considering that Roman units are expensive and it's training are time-consuming; There shouldn't be too much Roman infantry as your disposal. The Legionnaire should be generally used as your support infantry/backup infantry. For offense, the Imperian is used for general offense and the Legionnaire can support the attacker due to the low number of units.
The slow speed of the Legionnaire (6 fields/hour) makes this unit a torpid attacker and not to be relied on in the late games. Instead this unit should be used for early raiding as it's resource raiding capacity is (50) which is quite reasonable.
Therefore, the Legionnaire is the 'Jack of all Trades'' but not a master of any.
