Bigger Barbarian Unit Sizes

The main issue isn't the Romans its that any 20 unit army will probably be outnumbered 10-30% by a army with phalangites just because they have 80-40 more men per each phalanx * 6-8 phalanxes. :-\

You could always lower upkeep a bit more than before, at least that way they could field more armies if not bigger ones.

He means it more for online battles, where things as upkeep don't affect the fairness of fullstack vs fullstack battles, kindoff hard to balance such battles.

Phalanxes are pretty much useless unless they're huge enough to have ebough of both frontage and depth, AFAIK. *shrug* What can you do ?
(Not play online ?

Useless?

Just a formation of 6 deep levies can hold off a massive frontal attack, extremely hard to beat them when they have thin inbreakable lines with massive numbers of flank guards as well.

Phalanx, where in the flaming depths of Bartix have you been?!?

@Watchman
No one except people like Ibrahim uses phalangites in depth though... I guess if they are weaker, that'd be great but I'd still enjoy seeing larger units of stuff in the North and East:).
