    I never use standardised legions, my units change depending on area concentration of enemies, enemy and Denari. I prefer as the romans when I am stinking rich to use 2-4 Urban Cohorts, 4-6 Legionary Cohorts, 2-4 Archer Auxilia and a bunch of random cavalry, plus mercs. As the Seluecids my units vary greatly, I have one army fighting the Scythians that has all mercenaries except for a couple of silver shield phalanxes, I have an army in north Africa with Elephants galore. I have armies in Greece composed of Silver Shield legionaries, silver shield pikemen, cataphracts, companion cavalry, archers, peltasts and the occasional Thracian or Bastarnae mercenary. I prefer to adjust tactics and amry composition on the fly. Though there are some akward moments, 4 very badly depleted phalanxes backed by 4 peltasts 2 archers and 4 cavalry is sort of annoying to command!
