[EB] How to make Western barbarian factions more balanced against Hellenic and East

[Burebista]

On the lack of diversity:

From what i've seen , these are the army types you expect:

Roman armies- heavy inf spam
Greek successor armies- Phalanxes + thracians
KH army -hoplites , 1 battle line in "guard" mode
Celtic - Fast charge , pro's do it in the flank , kinda weak imho ,
Carthage - My personal favourite , HUGE OPTIONS FOR COMPS ,virtually cannot be fitted into a model as army comp or strat
Getai/iberian- fight like gauls but with less armour and better cav. Getai rly rly could use the scythian units to give them the option of forcing teh enemy to make the first move , thus being able to ambush
Baktria/Saka/Pahlava -Same options , different approach. Did a lot of good things with Baktria in serious MP , got lots of potential
Sauromatae- broken - Not having medium non-ranged Cav factional is the root cause , as the rules seriously hampers them
Sweboz -similar to getai/iberian , but with great front-holding power - If you got trees you win , if not u lose
Armenia-broken -not cost effective
Pontos- best deal- broken due to OP combination between galatians /scythian/tharachian availability as factionals


This rly gives me all the diversity i need. I only believe that some minor balances have to be made.
Give medium non-ranged factional cav to Sauros.
Get skythians to Getai.
Remove some options from the successor armies . Some proposals are limiting the availability of Thracian peltasts to maks , galatians to egipt/ AS + pontos
Remove indian units from Pahlava to make them feel unique.They will still be very good.
Make mercs the gala /thra /scy units for pontos and successor. That's what they were ..mercs.
Limit the prima cohors to ONE.
