First post, finally, been playing TW since STW hit the shelves.

While playing with carthago, the ptoleimatic empire declared war on me. Well, peacfull as i am i reluctantly marched my armies across the desert to engage in some frentic hand-to-hand struggles.
Now, i thought fighting against the great ptoleimatic empire would be hard, they were at the time the strongest military faction, but in the battles they kept sending one unit at a time against my wall of sacred legions and and poeinis, in many battles i ended up killing up to and over 2000 an loosing only a few hunderd, no fun, no challenge. I'm playing RTR (5.something, the newest) on H/H and big units, what should i do to make the battles more challenging?
