How effective was the Pilum?

[Apázlinemjó]

Perhaps the test would be fairer to the Romans if you were fighting a unit with more armour. The pila have a large advantage of being AP, but that counts for nothing against Lugoae. You should instead match the Cohors Reformata and Gaeoras against an armoured late-game infantry unit, instead of the Lugoae with are, anyways, not a unit that Post-Marian Romans should really be fighting. Too low-level...

Ohh true, forgot that. Although it still suprises me that the Romans did so poorly against low tier units with javelins. The damage difference between their "missile" weapon is only 1 damage...
