Because of my agressive efforts, I only had to fight Roman armies that had Principes at best. Imagine where I would be if the Marian reforms occured. I'd be toast, desert nomad style.

But now I'm fighting the macedon around 247 BC, and the level playing field is turning away from me. They have developed phalanx pikemen, while I'm still stuck flanking with the same old Numidia. Imagine my plight, if I had waited until they developed royal pikemen.

My point: My stategy is aggressive because it's the only strategy that is plausible with the Numidians.
