As a Carthaginian, Romans to weak in manpower and too passive

[Macilrille]

In most games I played, Romans were recruiting armies that had 40% PE and 30% Triarii. I don't know why, because apparently no other faction saturates their armies with elites to such extent.

No the Romans are crazy in that respect, and annoying. But AS is almost as bad in my Roman games with many stacks being 50% leets.

Meh, the Qarthadastim are just as bad, if not worse.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

They've been spamming full-stacks of Elite African Pikeman, Sacred Band Infantry/Cavalry, Elite Liby-Phoenician Infantry, Elite African Infantry, Iberian Assault Infantry, Iberian Heavy Infantry and elephants for nigh onto a decade now. They wiped out the Romani before I even conquered Ak-Ink, so I can't comment on Roman elite-spam.
