Ive been having fun as numidia lately, quite challenging (H/H)
In my game carthage attacked straight away with a big army, i just managed to get a victory and from there on it was all good.
Once you have all of carthages cities nere you its quite straight foward, after a bit of hastle with egypt i decided to take sicily which fell like a sack of sh*t in a few turns.
Most of my army consists of desert infantry archers and a mix of camels nudmidian cav and long shields.
I've just got the armenian legionaires so i don't know what their like, but the desert infantry have proven themselves. I deploy a first like 5 units wide and 4 ranks deep, placing them on guard mode. They can hold vs alot i've found, then on the gaps which are naturally there behind them i place more desert inf on fight at will (guard mode off) then surge them through the gaps when the enemy are engaged. Of course they would work better in the desert (the scipii landed there with one army, after that they never came back). I might try it with legionaires in the second row aswell.
