ive had quite a few massive battles in EB as Seleucid. it was 200 BC and i invaded italy. the next turn my faction leader was surrounded and attacked by 3 fullstacks of romani. luckily i replaced my faction leader's army of horse archers with a newly recruited army of elites from greece and the romani armies were half filled with vigiles. the legionaries ran into my phalanxes and my hypaspisati annihilated the vigiles leaving me with a heroic victory with like 7 000 kills. my faction leader died after taking Rome and i recruited an army of mercs for the next faction leader who went to Roman controlled (except one province) spain. he regularly faced 3 roman virgil stacks at a time and sacked every city in spain before gifting to lusos (who then got so powerful and backstabbed me =[ ). My current faction leader is campaigning in Roman germany and once again facing virgil stacks.
The lusotanians also engage my armies in huge numbers (3 fullstacks) against my army of local italian hastati and lugurian spearmen except they actually use elite units as well as those tough belgian spearmen
On a different campaign as KH, i sent my royal army to sack alexandria but the yellow fever suddenly surrounded me with around 10 000 men and i got a crushing defeat with my faction leader killed (ai was smart, they attacked my fleet before attacking him)
