That does seem strange, I have never played on anything less than huge, and the cav bodyguards always come of age with exactly 40 men.

Im playing on large and have 42 men in unit (including general)

Its really nice to play with KH: i made an expedition via sea on Italy and get Taras for Hellens, Romans pushed me back with their pedites extraordinari, triaries and principes and it wasnt worth to fight all the time for one town. Now is around 121BC and reforms are finally made; right now im recruiting some pikemen and ill strike Romans again. Masilla revolted to me (and that involved me in war with Romans for second time), and so did Halicarnas (so my ex-allies, Ptolies, are pretty angry and its a matter of time when they will take it back- one full stack of their elites recently captured Sardis from AS and now im doomed there

): im planning to invade Asia Minor after destroying the Romans (o, ill chase them to the moon if ill have to)

And one interesting thing: in my game, Parthians are, after Ptolies, the most advanced faction! They captured all AS territories and grab Seleukeia (Ptolies have Babylon): AS capital is somewhere near India (cant remember the name), and they have 2-3 cities left

You are:
a. playing your campaign for a lot longer than you've been on the forums
b. playing EB for 10-12 hours per day
c. playing without activating the script

Edit: I just saw you've started your KH campaign on 04-13 (or 04-12, depending on which time zone you are in).
So let's remove possibility a,
lets adapt possibility b to 34-36 hours a day,
and let me ask you again: are you sure you are playing with the script on?

Probably meant 212bc

The parthians can never take the AS Teritories by 212, so he must be at 121... ^^

It is very possible for them to do that.

Oh, yes, i have one nice screenshot already:

Hehe, I just did the same in 268 BC of my newly-started Eperios campaign. Romani besegied my Capua with a fullstack of mainly Principes (6)with substantial amounts of Triarii (4) and some Hastati (2), Rorarii (3), Accensi (2), Roman Citizen Cavalry (2) and a General's Bodyguard.

I had three 40-men Illyrian cavalry, two 27-men Bodyguards, 80-man unit of Levy Phalangites, 2 100-men units of Illyrian Levies (the crappy spear ones), plus four 50-man Hoplitai Haploi. Basically a depleted Eperiote army with a bunch of cavalry. I still won, with pretty low casualties of 40 men, mostly from the pila that the Romans unleashed on me in the beginning.

Seriously, Roman are ridiculously easy to defeat. Those three units are now down to 26-31 men each with silver chevrons. Every battle of mine is a quick enemy charge at my extremely thin (two rows) ragged line of levies followed by my own generals and Illyrians charging at the backs of the engaged enemy infantry, routing all of them at once, routing full units from the first charge.

So anyway, I defeated the Romani Capuan expedition and suddenly I found an empty Roma. No units inside. Only a single unit of Principes blocking the road to the "Eternal" City. I quickly dispatched the units with my two general's bodyguards and entered Roma, unopposed. After which I promptly massacred the population

It felt wrong, I still have guilt on my shoulders, but I needed the money to get me out of debt. Not to mention Capua, whom I forgot to massacre, has 11.000 population and the people are not happy, at 70% happiness on low tax level.

Would be nice if you could post a screenshot from your campaign map. Sounds pretty interesting.

Here you are. Its the only screenshot i have from this campaign and its taken around 230bc. Anyway, now (its about 210), Parthians are much stronger, and Romans live somewhere in Austria and Switzerland, and are something like "romanobarbarians"
