To become a legionary, one must be a Roman citizen first and foremost. I doubt a bunch of random Berbers would be them in the numbers needed for a new legion.

Forming a auxillia troop would make more sense, but black triarii? WTF

What's next, a squad of black phalangists fighting under the banner of Giorgius the breather?

well, serving as auxiliary could reward the soldier with a roman citizenship (which would then be extended to its descendants), you could get legionnaires of any ethnic group that belonged to the roman empire.
It's just that, in a province that doesn't belong to Rome, they wouldn't be raising a legion, but rather as auxiliaries or allies.

Been enjoying the game so far but one particular main quest later really soured my opinion on it

Spoiler

I got ambushed by two gangs in a tiny ass arena, they massively outnumbered us and there's reinforcements every 4 turns, victory conditions now read "die with honor", but because I'm a strong female Roman legate, I tried to take as many enemies as possible. The result? I actually got them all thanks to shit tons of buffs, tactical items, and Bestia's OP dodging skill. Really fun fight too, I abused the chokepoints so hard they pretty much had to 1v1 my shield dudes or get stabbed in the ass.

But the game never let me end the fight, I can destroy every new wave within 2 turns but I have to skip the next 2 turns to proceed to a new wave, the game pretty much forced me to either do what it says or waste my time.

So I let my team die. What happened next is the game shifts to another character's perspective, one that your protagonist isn't fond of, to save your ass. You get it right, the game makes you lose in a possibly winnable fight for railroaded storytelling, and the fact that you losing the fight doesn't actually matter much at all is just a huge nut punch. Make him appear after 6 or 7 reinforcement waves, then give my protagonist some dialogues like "we are wounded", "ok go back to legion camp, we can continue from here" or whatever, just don't punish me because I managed to survive a challenging fight.

Even worse, the camp where the quest continues from doesn't have a hospital, so I had to waste time traveling to my camp which wasn't near at all, risking my praetorian's death chance, which would have been avoidable had I not been forced to make them lose.

Man, that is really off-putting. Actually enough for me to consider not buying. Might be petty, but I hate stuff like that.

Give me cute secret companion Amazon wife!

Meet Deianeira, the Amazon.

This proud warrior woman of Scythia was enslaved and sold to be trained as a gladiator. She will join you in exchange for her freedom – but she has unfinished business with her captors…

It's time to write your own history. Expeditions: Rome is coming January 20, 2022.

Well that at least is realistic. If you are going to have warriors at least make them fit and strong,not some generic modern model that would drop from exhaustion after a kilometre of marching.

They do? To me this is obviously fake advertising: in the game itself the character (Deianeira) has the usual female-is-a-stick arms. Also, the artist did a poor job on drawing her biceps in the picture, which contributes to her looking a bit odd.

Weird, considering Expeditions Conquistador let you lose story battles (at least from what I recall playing), and had a branching outcome to respect what happened in the actual gameplay.

That's lame. If you absolutely have to make combat unwinnable (which isn't something devs should do much), using quality high-powered enemies is preferable to wave spam.

There is something to be said for shock value. Low lethality games where enemies start 1-hitting your team will make a player sit up.

And some had major consequences. Losing the final battle on Hispaniola or battle for your fortress in Mexico ends with Noriega dead, which completely blocks the betrayal route.

I guess voice actors cost too much.

I did notice that. She looks like a stick, her whole model.

Seems like infection seeped in there as well, we really need to remove that infection from society and use medical gas as anesthesia.

I believe they've said save files from the demo can be imported once the full game is out, but do we know if there will be any major changes to the portion of the game that is present in the demo?
I'd rather not start early and end up missing out on anything that will get added/changed for the full release.
