Best Roman Army

[HailMightCaeser]

What is a good combination for a Roman Army on settings m/m. Can someone give me a good one, w/o using urban cohorts, protorian (cp) calvery, heavy onagers, and repeating balistas? (I just think those units are cheap). Oh yeah, don't do to many protorian cohorts either, I want to keep it semi-fair.

I prefer 1 General, 4 units of Roman/Legionary Cavalry, at least 4 (preferably 6) units of Archer Auxilia and all the others (so between 11 or 9 units) Legionary Cohorts

I generally think the other Auxilia units are hardly worth building (maybe Light Auxilia when facing Elephants), and further you should always get any nice mercenaries that are around (Bastarnae, Elephants, Sarmatians, Cretan Archers)

so no siege equipment?

it depends on wether you're a attacking or defending player and your tactics. but my defending pre-marian army is. 10 Princeps, 4 triarii, 1 general, 3 archers and 2 cavalry
post-marian is (i'm keeping it real so no urbans and praetorians) 10 late legionares, 4 auxilia, 1 general, 3 archers and 2 cavalry. i always put them in this formation /---\

I have all of Spain, most of Africa, all of former Gual, and Sardina and the little carthagian island. Right now I am building up my economy, troop production buildings because I'm waiting for the reforms. When i do assemble an army (probably not for another 50 years atleast), i plan to, litterally, conquer the world. I am going to steam roll through africa to the middle eat, conquer the italian peninsula, and conquer all of Europe meeting up with my southern army in the middle east. I am going to have about 10 fulls armies in the field, so I need to know the best combination of troops to use.

i conquer fast, but i almost never attack, i siege cities and wait till another army comes and tries to relieve the city (only if one is nearby). they attack and i simply defend, eliminat both armies and walk into the city. so for that i suggest to use the
10 legionares, 2 auxilia and 2 merc hoplites, 3 ranged units like slingers or archers and 2 (light) cavalry to kill the routers.

if you're a attacking player you should use 8 legionares, 4 spearmen, 5 heavy cavalry units and the rest can you fill in yourself
