    I would recommend to play on the Huge unit size - anything less just make the glorious roman army look as an insignificant bunch of latrones.
    I would also plead for either HARD/HARD or VERY HARD/MEDIUM difficulty, because otherwise the AI would be too passive and the pax romana look as an outright agression and imerialism. Glorious republic should face same real challenge and real accomplishment.

    I object to the use of "normal" size. Most people, I believe, can play on huge size and I can play on large. Anything smaller than large makes the battles look more like skirmishes than real battles.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    I concur. My laptop barely meets minimum specs and I can still play with huge size units. I just have to pause to issue orders

    In the spirit of fairness, perhaps we should see if anyone does have a problem with huge unit size. We would not want to limit my potential supporters, ahem, I do of course mean fellow senatores.

    But I do think that most people play on huge anyway. We all love the spectacle, and it does the people good to get out and meet foreigners in as large a group as possible.

    I play on huge, but I'm playing on a new pc so I don't think it really counts

    However, when I was playing on the "old" pc (which isn't actually that old; I bought the new one for myself, while the other is shared by the whole family) I reduced a lot of details just to be able to play on huge, which is faaaaar better IMHO

    I second Maeran however, we can just say we'll play on huge UNLESS anyone has personal objections. I mean that if someone actually says he can't handle huge and wants large units, then we change to large unit size; if anyone objects about large, we can play on normal.

    If everyone that participates can handle huge, I say we should use that. But we must first wait a bit and see if someone complains.
