Speed is ridiculous . The cavalry can actually penetrate units with very little harm ( like they aren't in a tight formation).

Units have a great chance of outrunning a horse because cavs take too much time to obey orders. (Make that all units take too much time).

The only time I can use my Hastati pilum is when I have superior numbers. Even then, the Warband just charges at you During the siege though you can actually shoot them up a bit but they still charge when you get too close.

The game is now officially 50/50 Strategic Map/Battle Map emphasized. You spend as much time on the strategic map as you do the battle phase.

They should shave the charging speed and tone a bit of the killing power too.
