Well, if there are any of the usual pluses and minuses, rock-scissor-paper purchasing principles built into RTW, then there will probably be some benefit to diversifying one's legionaries.<br>
<br>
Perhaps triarii will be the slowest, but best defensively, like spearmen, with the highest morale and armor. While hastati and principes will be faster, but hastati lack much armor and have lower morale, and principes have good armor and normal morale. And all will have an excellent attack, let's say, because the legion was always a straightforward meatgrinding machine.<br>
<br>
Perhaps the hastati and principes could suffer a drop in morale if the triarii are too far out of "rescue" range.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
