Roman tactics against Barbarians.

[HunGeneral]

Every barbarian blood is worth less than 1 drop of Roman blood.

I would beg to difer here, but you will see with time after playing lots of EB.

ROMA VICTRIX!!!

Well your into the roleplaying thats for sure.

But life before romans were savage, decadent and/or uncivilized, we have to thank the Romans for all the technological and cultural legacies they've left us.

I suspect you have read or learned quite little history. We don't own everything to the romans.

Is it me, or do they literally wield better weapons now?

Yes, they copied thoose of the peoples you call "barbarians"...

I am aware of the Lorica Segmentata being inaccurate bits. :)

Now thats good news - EB is alrady starting to enlighten you.

UPDATE: I solved the cavalry killing romans problem by placing LOTS of Triarii in front as the line holders. =)

This reminds me of one the tactics for Romans: outnumber the enemy with masses of troops (they historically did that quite often).

Anyone got ideas to help me?

I think the others have already given you more advice then I could, so good luck with yourcampaign and please try so ofter faction then the romans...
