Trying to justify Praetorian on the basis of the Navy SEAL's inclusion is just. All armies in the world have Marines (assuming the country has at least a port ^^). Fact is, that you can very well compare them to Navy Seals. Originally they were still elite soldiers btw, and later they were more a political tool than anything else. Later Octavianus reformed their role and created the Praetorian Guard as it is described in the wiki. Praetorians were originally elite soldiers assigned as the personal guard of the Legion's Consul. In fact the wiki speaks of "Praetorian Guard", but Praetorians existed before the Praetorian Guard, which incitendally is not the Civ4 UU (Praetorian).
I will also make you note that the Wikipedia is an approximate tool, and especially in this case it is highly imprecise. In Civ's concept, a UU is a particular unit, which a legionary is not, while a Praetorian is much more suited for this role. In case I need to refresh the concept, but I'm sure most of you are well aware of it, the strength of Roman Legions relied upon superior tactics and discipline compared to the enemy armies in their age. And you're wrong IMO in saying that all soldiers in a roman legion can translate in one unit, Marian reform or not. Any soldier serving in a Legion was a legionary, including the last recruits which were all but particularly trained soldiers.
Click to expand.He was saying that legionary is just a synonim of soldier.
