My qualm about using Veneratii is that, in the case of the laythe worlds, the title took precedence over the unit type. In other words, the skitarii became known as Veneratii.

In a case like this it would make more sense for this to be called either a Veneratii Demi-Century, Veneratii Century, or Veneratii Maniple (my personal favorite).

If we did go for that it it might be better to put it like this:

Macharius Century
Veneratii Century
Super Heavy Tank upgrade

Depends on how large we decide a "full" century is for the heavy tanks. If 5 tanks is a maniple and we follow what we've got for the Skitarii, 10 tanks would be a demi-century and 20 would be a full century. For Superheavy's would that translate into 3 tanks being a demi-century with 6 being a full century? If so, the we should go with this:

Macharius Demi-Century
Veneratii Demi-Century

Then I think we should use the cohort to refer to the single SH tank upgrade. In that case it could be something like this

1 SHT - 1 Cohort
3 SHT - 1 Century

5 Tanks - 1 Maniple
10 Tanks - 1 Century

Thank you for your patience :D

I understand we're not exactly following the Roman pattern but a Cohort is made up of 6 Centuriae. We should at least get the relative ordering correct if we are going to use the term.

That would work...

Jimmy, we are using cohort similar to how FW uses it. They've set up that a cohort is a unit smaller than a maniple with the Thallax models.

One more point. We have a Russ Cohort upgrade already in the Cataphractii list that's 3 tanks. does that work for you all?
