Lusotana Campaign

[The Stranger]

ok here are the first results

Carthage:

Levy = Misteret Ezra'him (Poeni Citizen Militia)

Elite = Dorkim Leebi-Feenikim Aloophim (Elite Liby-Phoenician Infantry)

Because the I could not use the Levy of Carthage I used the Hoplitai Haploi which are actually even better for the same cost.

Results:

1 Elite Liby-Phoenician Infantry vs 4 Hoplitai Haploi = 536 kills for Elite vs 73 kills for Levy
1 Elite Liby-Phoenician Infantry vs 4 Hoplitai Haploi = 561 kills for Elite vs 71 kills for Levy
1 Elite Liby-Phoenician Infantry vs 5 Hoplitai Haploi = 692 kills for Elite vs 79 kills for Levy
1 Elite Liby-Phoenician Infantry vs 5 Hoplitai Haploi = 730 kills for Elite vs 76 kills for Levy

Specifics:

Map is Grassy Flatlands.

Every time I started with 2 Elite units and immediately marched my general unit off the field, this way the general will not have an impact on my side, the AI still has a general so if what Arjos says is true, these results should favor the Elite even more.

In the 1 vs 4 battles I was enveloped by 3 units and surrounded completely, with the general unit performing charge-ins all the the time. When the rest routed it was my 1 Elite vs the 1 Levy general unit.

In the 1 vs 5 battles I was enveloped by 4 units and surrounded completely, but the general unit remained idle for most of the time. When the rest routed it was my 1 Elite vs the 1 Levy general unit.

Judgment:

Elite wins this hands down, definitely when considering that the Carthaginian levy is worse than the Haploi.
