I wonder what are the best units to use as Romani in Gallia, Iberia, Greece and other places??
My legions usually have 2-3 hastati, 2-3 principes, 1-2 triarii, 0-1 equites.
But now I want some regional troops to support them. What are the best units for that??
Currently I recruit Teceitos as my infantry auxilia in Gallia and Archers and Slingers as missile auxilia.
Is there a better unit I can use instead of Teceitos??
In Iberia I have Milites as my main auxiliary unit and some Balearic slingers as well. They can do miracles if used properly.
In Greece and Mikra Asia I actually use mercenaries. Celto-Hellenic Hoplitai, Mercenary phalangitai and Cretan archers are units that I use. Are there better ones??
In Africa I use also mercenaries and Numidian Cavalry too.
Also, how should I balance them properly to get more 'real' army composition?
