    I think the game 'lasts' until 0AD or 10AD or something.

    Im not sure wetther the AI will eventually win the game, with what i have seen it will grow strong, run out of foon and die.Its totaly incapable to manage the economy, the bildings or even to present armies with advance unit types later in the game.
    And yes, this really is unfortunate. There is no reason to tech any higher than cohort organisation as Romans because there is just no military any other faction can put up that's going to beat Legionaries, Auxiliary Cav, Auxiliary Infantry, some random assortment of Auxiliary missile infantry and 1-2 Ballistas in any of your 20 unit stacks.

    I've had battles where I was surrounded on some little overgrown hilltop and 'dug in' enough for my 1600 men collection of all of the above to successfully fend off 4000 Iberian melee and skirmishing infantry with 'acceptable losses' and I'm playing on hard cause the game is so damn easy. I'm going to try playing very hard next although the potential agent spam is putting me off a little since right now, the only way the AI can really 'beat' the player is by being an annoying pain in the ass.
