[Romani AAR] It began on seven hills...

I'm confused on how you can win relativly large battles and cause massive casualties on your enemy, whilst losing a minimum number yourself.

Ehhh... being kinda good? I´d say his results are pretty ordinary, especially for playing on Medium difficulty.

A lot of practice using the formation I do, and the inherent flexibility of it. You can see in detail how I fight in a lot of the earlier battles. Joy of the Camillian and Polybian armies is that you pretty much don't have to be imaginative about formations, just use the same one over and again. Plus a lot of Roman troops have decent armour and morale (especially when you get to the Polybian ones) which helps in survivability. Plus every general always has a doctor ancillary to try to encourage casualties to survive.

As in reality, most of the enemy casualties actually come when they rout. My troops have better morale than most of theirs, and I use my skirmishers to outflank when they're exhausted their missiles.

Plus recently I've gotten good with my cavalry (even Curepos and other lights can do the charge to the rear thing if you know what you're doing), so that again adds to the likelihood of the enemy breaking.

The other thing is that some of the enemies I've been fighting (Dacian especially) have little or no cavalry of their own.
