Can anyone explain in details (and, perhaps, illustrate with screenshots) how to hire your legion, how to strengthen it, how to maintain its strength during campaigns and battles and how finally to disband it (when no longer needed)?

Sorry I'm on my phone so no pics, but this how it works you recruit a unit in a city or smaller city then the next round you can recruit again, then you have a 2* unit. To disband tap on the unit an tap then on disband. To get navy you go to a harbor an buy a ship. |

That's not possible if he dies he dies, but if you mean when he's alive like this    You can form Legions without a general as well as I see. Is it correct? |

SegerSo basically we need at least one unit alive in the legion to be able to strengthen/replenish it, am I right? Or after combining a legion first time we can't do it anymore? And us it possible to combine different types of units in it, let's say infantry and archers? Or is it more effective to combine units of the same type?

You can give them equipment but it's impossible to combine it with other units archery+inf etc. |

The manual is kinda meh so ill try to answer your questions.
Standard legions can go up to 3 stacks, generals can get up to 5 with high enough rank. Rank also adds a % attack bonus based on how many units are stacked, and it also determines how many rounds you must wait in between each time you recruit. You can only add 1 unit at a time regardless if its a new legion or an existing one.
So after taking a city you can rotate your troops into the city to replace lost legions rather than building new ones, so you can keep generals alive and/or experienced units.
However, you can only recruit/replace legions if the city and its attached military camp are capable of doing so. Every city has a max level, and this level determines the max level an attached military camp can attain. In my limited experience, most city's cannot achieve max rank, and are therefore not capable of replacing top tier units lost in the battle to take the city.
So that is something to consider when assigning your generals to a unit. Depending on the map and what your doing/where your going, you could create a powerhouse with limited ability to sustain itself, or put them on lower tier units that can be easily replenished at any conquered city.
Infantry will be the easiest to replace, as any city can create the first 3(?) tiers even without a military camp. Cavalry and archers each require a military camp dedicated to recruiting that particular type. So you may need to spend a few rounds and resources prepping a newly conquered city to replenish your troops depending on what your using.
You can disband a unit at any time when viewing its stats. I assume the use of this would be to free up population to increase income if you have a bunch of units to far from the action in conquest.

Another reason I’ve disbanded a legion is actually to prevent cavalry from getting another attack off of me, because if a cavalry unit kills a legion then they get a 60% chance to make another attack. Another situation being when you use a weak and fast unit to take a high level town, you can disband them and create a tougher unit such as a swordsmen.

Ahh yes I recently disbanded in a city for that reason as well. I sent in a cavalry that was close to death and had him attack a nearby enemy thinking he would die but he didn't so I disbanded haha. Not sure I understand the disbanding to prevent a possible second attack from cavalry. If you disband then wouldn't the cavalry just attack another unit? Wouldn't it be better to have him attack the weak unit and hope the second attack doesn't trigger? |

The disbanding for cavalry is a tricky one that works only now and then. I’d only do it if I’m defending a town and the cavalry is the only unit able to attack and its a preventative measure to stop a second attack and potential loop of him getting me. In campaign I’ve seen the damage of 4 repeat attacks on a unit being sieged by cavalry, and its devastating.
Again though it is a lot less likely to be a good choice than soem of the other suggestions for it. I’ve done it just once or twice and it worked out.
