The weapon is a heavy machine gun  It's called 'Monument of Tartarus.' The main perk is this- kills with this weapon cause a fiery explosion, which leaves an AOE pool of fire. It does 50% more damage against all Cabal, an intrinsic perk called Empire Shatter.

I realise now that Legions don't work the way I thought they did. This is how they (kind of) function.

In ancient Rome, at the top of the standings is the Emperor, no shock there. However, the military was not entirely unified- several 'legions' existed. Each was under the jurisdiction of one General, who recieved orders straight from the throne. However, these orders were likely somewhat broad, like 'plunder the village of X,' or 'take this area of Y's empire.'

Now I'm no historian so the orders bit could be totally wrong. But taking inspiration from this, we can form a crude outline of how the full Cabal hierarchy functions.

The Emperor gives a direct, but broad, order to a Hierus. More direct orders are described to the Valus, whose tactical knowledge hones the order. It's then issued to the Bracuses/ Bracci, who directly command their Centurions. They carry out the motions with Phalanxes, Legionaries, and Psions.

Does that seem realistic?

Did I... did I just crack the Cabal's code!?
