If you are refering to the Triari having 1 strat move while everyone else has 2 making them move seperate I agree. If the Pythium gets strat move 2 for their Legionaries they should get it for the Triari as well.

That's exactly it! Republican Roman armies were composed of Hastati, Principes, and Triari -- not the first 2 plus the 3rd when they could catch up!

However considering that the Triari will be used for different tactics than in history (i.e. placed right smack in the middle of the front), it's not such a big deal. I just think of them as more heavily armed Legionaires, coincidentally called Triari.

Correct. I consider the paradox of using both the myth inspired Tuatha/Firbolg and the related but Victorian children's tales flavor Faerie Queen to be much further out of whack than an obscure detail about Legionaire's armor.

The Faerie Queen sticks out in sharp contrast to the strongly themed nature of the rest of dominions. May as well have the Little Mermaid as a hero for Atlantis.

Purely subjective opinion of course. Not much point in arguing about it.
