I thought that only the Sweboz was able to recruit the unit Rooster.

Haven't had that before. In fact fighting the romans is very hard all the times (for me). What is your difficulty-setting for the battles? That could possibly be the issue...

Anyway, is the AI supposed to have the reforms earlier than you can achieve them? I was playing the romanii and got attacked by sweboz elite-pikeman (wich are quite strong)...and that was in 242 BC...they only had 6 settlements at that time and they weren’t fully developed yet...seems a bit unlikely to me that they already met the requirements for the reform.

are u serious with that statement about the hastatii? I mean, I've conquered all my lands thanks to them!! they hold on like if there were no return! speciallly when they are put in guard mod, not even GOD moves them!
I have recieved calvary charges, multiple superior in-the-role enemies (as getasae or whatever) and they are superb in what I used them for: tiring the enemy, then I let the others make the dirty job and slaughter those smelly gauls!

Yeah, I'm serious. AI controlled Hastati simply disintegrated when faced with my Samnitici Milites.

However, when I was finally able to recruit Hastati in Italy as Carthage, I faced no such problems: they held reasonably well, even against Gestatae.

well, i've never had played against romans in any campaign, I mean, i've never encountered them (I've played with Pontos, Saba and Roma itself), so I can't make any statement about it.

The Germanic pikemen aren't reform units. They're available from the beginning with the level 5 MIC. The Swebox reforms give them Germanic Heavy Infantry and Germanic Heavy Cavalry, nothing more.
