I recently landed in Taras as the Epeirots (it's payback time) and upon landing I see Caivs Avrelivs Cotta just out of reach and march towards him. Next turn he recruited an ENTIRE stack of merc infantry man and forced me into a massive battle. I mean that army must have cost like 80-90K Mnai! What the hell! And then after that I get a stack of triarii and PE in Campania and the same in Roma itself! It was crazy!
Mind you, the only reason I can think of that the Romans have rubbish army composition is that they are expected to choose Hastati and Princepes and Rorarii et al in proportion when they can afford to build PEs and Triarii galore! What would you do if you were the maks with 1,000,000 Mnai? Would you have akonsitai or Makedonian Peltastai? Would you have Pezhetarioi or Deuteroi? The computer doesn't understand realism, it understands bang for it's buck!
