Yea, because Hastati just out right stink vs. my Phalanx and calvery, I've slaughtered over 15,000 of them. They always get massacred when they hit the spear wall, and then after a few moments of fighting, loseing 3/4 of their men, and only takeing a couple kills on my side, they retreat, and I send in the calvery and just utterly kill them all.

Its what brought the end of the Scippi and Bruti factions on my Campaign, after I massacred over 15,000 Hastati's and thousands of peltasts, archers, etc. Now Juli is going through the same thing, lol!
