These Macedonians keep besieging 3 cities that I took from them. The best thing is that all their assault has been repulse.
The thing is they come each turn so I don't have time to retrain.
Tomorrow's my off day so the Macedonian war will be resume.
BTW I'm playing RTR as Roman.
Cheers!!!
The best way if you've only got Hastati tends to be keeping one thick line of Hastati in front and a thinner unit set to 'fire at will' behind. While cavalry tries to get through the first line they're immobile, and will be slaughtered by the pila. This is how I got through the Carrhae battle at any rate.
I play with the Macedonians. It could be my military genious or something else, but I really see no fighting potential in Roman units. Hastati, Princeps, Triarii, all the same. Only Equites are somewhat formidable.
However, from a different point of view, I'd try to flank Macedonian Phalanx formations with the quicker Hastati and Equites while they are occupied with beating the Princeps units. They key thing would be a staggered formation too... Maybe.
You have a point there. I've played as Romans against Macedon before. Works quite well indeed, and functions according to military logic.
