Overpowered units.

British Head Hurlers , Urban Cohorts should cost more, Chariots are abit over powered aswell, Horse Archers could be weaken a little by reducing their arrows perhaps, egyptian axe men over powered and last but not least Cav should not be able to brake spear or phalanx units head on.

The upkeep of cavalry units is too low; for ex: Roman cavalry only have an upkeep of 110 dinarii. You can argue that the unit size is only 54 men (on huge), but then you have 54 horses, so you should have upkeep costs that are higher than or at least in the range of a legionary cohort (210). Same deal with praetorian cavalry (upkeep = 240) vs. a praetorian cohort (upkeep = 320).

You could extend this argument to the other factions, but I would suggest letting the nomadic steppe factions with lots of cav have a lower average upkeep. This would reflect their better care for horses and easy access to grazing lands.

Urban Cohorts should only be built in Roma.

I'm loving Cretan (sp?) Archers. I had a line of Pricipes and Hastati in one battle, with three units ot these archers behind them, two ranks deep. The enemy army was about a 800 strong, and so was mine (ish). Their army never made melee contact with mine-the archers routed them. It was like a musket line in Shogun-they routed, rallied, moved back at my army again, routed, and so on. After the third rout they didn't come back-my cavalry charged after them and killed the remainder.

Final kills: 800 to 15. My 15 came partly from friendly fire (I had one unit of archers far too close to my Hastati) and a couple from casulties in the cavalry when they chased down the routers.

I love those archers, man. Huge range, too.

I won't be original, but the Egyptian forces as a whole are overpowered.
Not only are they VERY good at fight, but above all, they are dirt cheap. Really DIRT CHEAP. Just look at the prices of the chariots, bowmen, spearmen and axemen.
