Nope, got more pikes and pike wall can easily counter Praetorian spam in numbers and fighting ability.

Parthia is currently useless when their archers don't have enough arrows and do nothing while the Cataphracts easily lose to Averni Nobles.

Under a decent player nothing beats pike spam, Sparta has the most cost efficient pikes in Rome 2 and if you play as them that's the way.

The other top builds are all heavy infantry spam.
