@Maion - Yeah you were pretty doomed with that army - you didn't have a dominant cavalry arm against Rome or atleast you didn't use it. You're right about that. You also had the misfortune to fight ACS who is fairly good with infantry. Plus he picked the no-missile rome army up from me so you can thank me for that, buddy. I think its a little too early to tell. I'm going to wait for a a few more Hellenic replays before I open this issue up again. But the thing is that its hard to nerf Rome with money on both sides. If you don't give Rome chevrons, then it will always pick elephants... :-\

Also I disagree with the assertion that the Greeks can't field equally large infnatry armies. Maks are a little disadvantaged since they don't have the hordes of Asia with them or the hordes of Illyrians that their neighbor has though. Its something to consider since Maks are very middle-high range faction.

I believe you also failed to read this was a friendly match? You seem have counted this outrageous victory as valid for the Tournament. Do you want more proof that the Romans will be able to beat me over and over again with those rules? Fine. But if you don't listen and bring the cap back as well as abolish the +1 chevron rule of at least the Romans, I'm afraid I'll have to leave the Tournament because it takes all the fun away.

Take a look at the battle I fought with ACS, the last one. I won onoly because he didn't use his massive remaining troops (in comparison to my tiny remaining infantry force) to counter my exhausted cavalry. If he did, he would have won. And guess what? No damn chevrons. If he had them, I'd have gotten mauled 100%.

Also, why in the name of God do the Romans have to spend every single penny they got left?
