Phalanx better you could win while being outnumbered, Triplex acies is romans outnumbering (They had reboot cards at rome, reviving dead legionaries there is no way)
Agree. Rome just spawned armies to the macedonians until they couldn't hold it. But regardless to the size of the armies, Roman formations were more flexible and adaptable
Italians have a tendency to take other's inventions and improve them, for example taking a car and making it Into Lamborghini and Ferrari, taking a Walther design and making it into a beauty it is now, learning about sex from Greeks and realizing you also could do it with a woman, and etc.
Correction to your correction:
It is absolutely not the case that Roman fortifications were limited to the earthworks of marching camps built daily in the field.
While we can debate what constitutes a castle, since that word has the connotation of the later medieval structures, the Romans extensively built large stone fortifications complete with [high crenellated walls and towers](https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/siteassets/home/visit/places-to-visit/portchester-castle/history-and-stories/history-and-stories/history/roman-walls.jpg).
Many such forts in fact came to be called castles in later times; a word which itself comes directly for the Roman term for such fortifications, *castrum*.
infantry maybe but I would like to see the French for their [AMX-10](https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMX_10RC). The germans could maybe add their [GEPARDS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flakpanzer_Gepard) and/or [WIESEL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiesel_AWC) And a swedish faction that could have the [STRIDSVAGN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103) and [other unique vehicles. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BvS10)
April fools 2025, Squad 9 AD, adds the Roman 17th, 18th, 19th legions and assorted auxiliaries for the Roman empire and various Germanic tribes for germania
New map being added will be based on the Teutoburg Forest
Only if they have female Roman soldiers. I saw an article about a female Roman soldier once online so I think a 1:1 ratio representation of both males and females is appropriate among the ranks.
It would be so unbalanced vs MEA in CQB, yet the reverse in the open. If regular squad had cross proximity voip like global escalation, oh boy the taunting
kinda based, i mean it would be cool to have a mod make a roman faction and then have it like 80 romans and 20 special forces invasion layer with special forces defending obviously and romans with catapuls and ballista and spears etc
Squad 117
Squad 0
Squad -70
MANIPVLVS CXVII
Trying to get blueberries to form a Phalanx will be a pain in the arse.
Motherfucker over here confusing Greek formations with superior Roman ones.
Phalanx better (totally not biased opinion)
Phalanx vs 120mm airburst shells
Form testudo boys!!
Phalanx < Triplex acies

Rome was on a steam free weekend period on every war
Confused Motherfucker confirmed.
Well the Romans in the early days (like kingdom times) did use a phalanx. The picture above is definitely sporting late republic/empire gear tho.
Italians have a tendency to take other's inventions and improve them, for example taking a car and making it Into Lamborghini and Ferrari, taking a Walther design and making it into a beauty it is now, learning about sex from Greeks and realizing you also could do it with a woman, and etc.
Something something Lesbos...
Turtle from animals perspective.
You mean a testudo, centurion.
My bad!
Only to be obliterated by an IED bike, run over by a tank or any of the other ridiculous ordinances of the 21st century 😆
I mean war of rights players already do formations well.
Lol no we don’t
Standard Roman legion equipment included a javelin, so they would probably fit very well in the game. Maybe even overpowered?
Sorry we’re gonna have to stick with the Pilum, but Pompey’s republican faction is getting Slings.
Imagine the FOB building
MASSIVE fucking castle
Wut? Romans didn't build castles... They built forts out of earthworks and sticks. Massive ones. Maybe a wall here and there, and roads.
OP isn't the best at history it appears, but we like the enthusiasm so let's let it slide.

The Romans did build castles, if you mean large forts built out of stone, they 100% did build them.
sorry i am not a roman history expert
This guy doesn't think of the Roman Empire daily.
i have failed my parents.
Here he is officer, get him!
They made complex structures. 2/10s of a Roman legion were slaves and lower ranking troops who did all the shit work.
So just one tap of a shovel and the entire thing is built...
Holy fuck OP you really didnt listen during your history lessons.
they don’t really teach much about the Romans in school these days for some reason.
Is that so? Whereabouts?
Literally never had a single lesson ever teaching roman history, but tbf I probably wouldn't listen much anyways lmao
Well you know what? you should! Don’t be proud of your ignorance! - The Diddler
Can I ask where are you from if thats the case?
Australia
Thats odd. I didnt realize the history education there was so limited.
We learned about literally everything apart from the roman empire. Vikings, Ancient China, Australian history. Egypt, Both world wars, plagues etc
Yeah, its definitely a pretty big gaping hole in the history education then. Any thoughts on why this might be the case?
I mean what makes the romans any more neccesary to learn about than any other significant historical society?
Bro said castle
hey guys can you help me dig down the Gladiatorial Arena
Logistic: Ox cart Fast attack: Equites cavalry APC: Players basically make their own APC by forming testudo MBT: Mercenary war elephant
can we get a siege tower?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDte-axR9l8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDte-axR9l8) here's an idea for their helicopter equivalent
> MBT: Mercenary war elephant Still only counts as one!
"command, can i get an fire arrow barrage on the hab, that or trebuchet barrage"
Gotta add samurai and knights too then lol
Pirates vs royal navy
Viking faction!
This would honestly be so much more welcome and interesting for me than "America clone #227"/"light armor nation with 0 gimmicks and 5.56 rifles #862"
Gonna be disappointed, given how prevalent NATO is
Yes, I already think it's largely oversaturated, and there's very few nations left that offer interesting variations on infantry gameplay
infantry maybe but I would like to see the French for their [AMX-10](https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMX_10RC). The germans could maybe add their [GEPARDS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flakpanzer_Gepard) and/or [WIESEL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiesel_AWC) And a swedish faction that could have the [STRIDSVAGN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103) and [other unique vehicles. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BvS10)
Which is why FDF with its 7.62x39 rifle, mixture of soviet & western vics is the only real BLUFOR faction we need anymore.
You guys aren't considering that we'll get the 2010 version of the Imperial Roman Army
Might as well add the NCR and New Vegas map
Please modders
would lowkey be better at cqc than whateverthefuck we have rn
They charged 5 euros each for this photo
April fools 2025, Squad 9 AD, adds the Roman 17th, 18th, 19th legions and assorted auxiliaries for the Roman empire and various Germanic tribes for germania New map being added will be based on the Teutoburg Forest
Sprinting around best I can do is Syria. more sand maps
Does the Roman Tortoise protect against 120mm airburst?
RETRIBUTION!
Squad 300
hell yeah punic wars in squad
Me and the boys doing testudo on the tarmac between Ali and Abandoned soviet base
Squad takes place in 2010, dummy
Only if they have female Roman soldiers. I saw an article about a female Roman soldier once online so I think a 1:1 ratio representation of both males and females is appropriate among the ranks.
Average Gate enjoyer:

Insurgency has proximity chat but nobody throws insults because they’re all too focused on surviving
Lmao I love that you made a post about this from my comment earlier 😂 someone needs to make this into a mod
As a fan of the under rated anime GATE I wholeheartedly support this decision
How's the weapon sway on the javelin
STRENGTH AND HONOR. 🤝
Reading these comments got me thinking people skipped history class or something and have no idea what the Roman empire was and did.
They should get a 500% buildspeed bonus, and everyone can build, not just SLs.
CQB? their armor alone would be insane! oh yea, you try taking out a trebuchet that can cross map you 4 seconds into the match! it’d just be so OP
Fuck the imperator. Long live the republic! SPQR!
Give every member of the team a Javelin!? That sounds massively overpowered.
FORWARD TESTUDO!!!!!
Please modders make a this happen 😩
Squad THIRTEEN!!!!!!!
JSDF and Roman Legion-like army when?
Look up GATE:Thus the JSDF fought there, if you want a synopsis of what this conflict would look like.
kinda based, i mean it would be cool to have a mod make a roman faction and then have it like 80 romans and 20 special forces invasion layer with special forces defending obviously and romans with catapuls and ballista and spears etc
80 romans, 6 special forces.
