And how many players in whole do really manage to defeat the Romans with a barbarian factions? I think it should be examined through some vote whether the Romans are over-powered against such factions, for a rule adjustment.
Ok, Here advises are needed! i'm kickin' roman asses since a year and a half as sweboz (meaning way crapier economy than yours) and I had the exact same problem than you have now : Romans! first rule, use AP units, don't underestimate scaring effect (one or two urodusios) keep them out of battle but close enough to have their effect on the roman. when the moral is going down, give a massive charge with all units you could have kept in reswerve (wich will most likly cause a mass rout) enjoy the killing as you have better stamina, meaning your foot soldiers will butcher those roman sissies in no time when they run away. another tip : use ambush. Your guys are great in the wood, don't forget that! and romans have an enjoyable tendency to die when surrounded by trees and blood thirsty warriors! don't say that fear and ambush isn't general strategy. it is the general strategyu of any "barbarians". if you wanna play with pitched, lined up battle, play as romans or greek! Barbarians are way funnier!
