Thank you for your kind words. I have had a lot of fun by doing a scenario
by myself, using easy and very customizable editor and then play that scenario
and see it actually work. Not many games in market, can offer the same
pleasure and experience.

Okay, I need some help here. I can't seem to download the scenario from the scenario bank. I'm getting around 700-800K and it keeps spitting me out of the download. What gives? I'm not having this problem with other scenarios, only this one.

Sorry to hear about that problem. I've asked few of my friends (one at UK, Germany and East Coast USA) to download the scenario. They all did it fine. I have no idea why this happened to you. I am sure Victor can answer on this one. You should ask it at "Advanced tactics support" area.

Playing around a bit. Is it possible to create more than 3 legions?
I have I legion Germanica, II Legion Italia and III Legion, which was created by using the handcard. (95pp)
(...)
And how do I create more Legions??

The same with me. I just started playing this mod - still no way to have more than 3 legions. Any ideas?

You don't - it is something that makes the game very interesting

It is not actually too hard to win - but you have to think about what you are doing with every single unit - you can't afford to have any of them destroyed.

Probably you should be able to replace destroyed ones - the Romans could always find another army commander somewhere ....but you can't....

I think I gave it a low rating on the scenario website, but I'd raise it by a point or 2 now I've played it some more.

I will say that Zaratoughda's spinoff mod for random games using this mod as a base masterfile has been very fun. So, there's another way to enjoy the work put into this scenario.

It is possible to buy more Legions with PP points (check out those action cards). I am sorry if there has not been enough information about this. Going to add it in describtion. However since PP points are limited source, there will be always limited
number of Roman Legions, just like they were in historically too. It is also important thing for balance reasons.
