playing vh/vh as scipio i was unable to win any battle against them when the ratio was 1:1 or 3:2

maybe i'm using the wrong troops? (legionaries, roman cav, archer aux)

the armor upgrades dont seem to exaust my troops or anything.

plus...uhh..how do you kill chariots? even archer chariots own my heavy cav when and if i do catch them. the general chariots are death machines.

even if my general was superior it just didn't seem to matter, their axemen, archers, and chariots just seem like super soldiers of death.

finally i started surrounding their armys with 3 of mine so i'd have 2 suicidal AI general-lead forces to help me out and that seemed to work quite well.

i'd really like to know if theres any good tips on how to beat them with even armies though.

vh/vh difficulty, not sure what kinda bonuses it gives the computer but i figure it just evens out the fact that i have a general with stars and they dont.
