Some historical notes about armies constitution
---------------------------------------------------
In Iberia there are some aspects concerning armies not accurate with History, that we were forced to introduce in order to get more playability:
- Contubernium unit just appeared some years later, after Marian's changes.
- A cohort was the first roman unit that could fullfill missions independently (thus, as example, a commander could not lead a century to fight alone).
- Maximum unit strengths are accurate to the years reproduced in Iberia (around 150BC), with the exception of contubernium, which did not exist yet, and legion, that could be bigger or smaller, depending of needs (between 3000 and 6000 legionaries).
Everything else, also considering the detail we give to army combats, are according to what those combats were at that time.
