Camillian units routing too easily?

Camillian Troops have a little less morale than Polybians.

Sword infantry does kill faster. Play as a Celtic faction to realize this.

YOur elephants are probably reducing thier morale or maybe the commanding general has some bad traits that are having a negative effect.

If you want to see how traits can affect a battle have a pop at one of the rebel central european super stacks that the script spawns, with the general still alive they will practically never rout but once he's dead they all go at once.

They make up for it with their dirt-cheapness.

I have had mixed experience with Camillans, though if you are using Hammer and Anvil those results are typical.

Well imo, Camillan Hastati aren't worth very much being light sword infantry though not particularly mobile or possessing great stamina. Principes are another story. Camillan Principes destroy just about any medium/light infantry they touch. In fact I think they are a little OP'd. Roarii are basically levy spearmen and perform admirably in this role. I also consider leves a very good skirmishing unit as they carry spears and as such can defeat cavalry. And of course Triarii are excellent.

I summary, I find all Camillan units to be great at their tasks except for Hastati. Even the Hastati are not really that bad and work as excellent meat grinders, which is historically, their role.
