I should have been clearer about what I was answering, this is what it has to do with it.
Someone said this
That prevents you from recruiting only elites but it doesn't prevent you from recruiting endlessly. In this game you can constantly be at war. Constantly. That is not realistic. When an empire loses a big amount of men in war the are willing to offer terms to the enemy because their population isn't suficcient for endless warfare. Little boys need to grow up in order to be recruited as soldiers. Unless the romans had cloning facilities
It isn't just the Romans who prospered under constant warfare, Carthage did to, war was actually just another marketplace tool for Carthage, Hannibal just made a bad high risk investment.
