    It's not a bad idea, but can we do it or are we just waiting for CA to do something nice for us?

    Hate to tell ya this, but this "superior Romans" myth is just that. The Romans had just as many screw-up generals as the barbarians did. The generals often would even blatantly refuse to help other armies that were commanded by a rival family, or due to political reasons of the day. This sometimes even resulted in the annihilation of tens of thousands of Roman troops.

    The Romans weren't always so superior to everyone else, and just because their opponents were called barbarians did not necessarily make them morons.

    Nevertheless, discipline is modeled in RTW in units that will 'attack without orders' but from my experience this only happens when they're commanded by the AI.
