I've never really been a fan of "allied legions" in any sense. While they are interesting and spice up gameplay, I find that generally my factional troops are readily at hand and thus I have no need of allies (except for cavalry). I do make exceptions for the bruttian infantry, which i use as a replacement for hastati, but thats it. The main reason that I stay away from allies, is that the game engine just isnt designed to handle that sort of tactic. and as much as i'd like to roleplay, i always cop out for the bottom line. I want the most for my money and that generally leaves little room for allies and the lower class roman infantry

In this context I am refereing only to italy itself and to cammilan and polybian troops. Its a whole different ball game with imperials.
