I know, it's just an *becomes spock* illogical sentence structure. I think '... promoted to legate' should come on the same line as it saying she was enrolled in the legion. It doesn't matter, it's just when I read it it sounded as though she was promoted to Legate for cooking :laugh:

Well I only put that because she did become a legate on the game...be thankful I didn't make her the general ;D Mirabelle on Skyrim, became legate so...just thought it would fit, if she was just a soldier it would just be boring... Edited by AnotherAverageName

Technically, because it is 'The Imperial Legion' not 'The Imperial Legions', stating that it is one legion, legate would be incharge of... well, everything. :laugh: a general would be incharge of several legions. Bethseda did flawed research

LOL :tongue:

 

Legate is Actually like a captain, they control a fort, or they run the garrison of a town, or command over a camp. General is much higher, having the final say of every action that the legion plans on doing.

 

I thought they were modeled on ancient rome? Where a legate is incharge of a legion, while a general has several legates under his command, who in turn have captains under their comand, who have centurions under their command, who have several contubernium (tent groups of 8 men) under their command. So it ended up like this:

 

Contubernium: consisted of 8 men.

 

Centuria: (century) was made up of 10 contubernium with a total of 80 men commanded by a centurion .

 

Cohorts: (cohort) included 6 centurie, a total of 480 men, commanded by the roman equivalent to a captain (who I have forgotten the name for)

 

Legio: (Legion) consisted of 10 cohorts, about 5,000 men, commanded by a legate

 

Eques Legionis: Each legio had a cavarly unit of 120 attached to them, probably commanded by a cavalry captain

 

Then comes the Imperator (roman general or commander) who commands several legions

 

I assume that the imperial legion is actually more than one legion, because 5000 men is not enough to control an empire
