I personally think that Gaestae (naked guys) are too powerful... I know that historically they might have spent 3 quarters of their life preparing to spill the blood of their enemies, and might be fierce and ferocious and unable to feel fear or give mercy and all that stuff... But that doesn't make up for the fact that they're wearing no armour...

These guys can be peppered with javelins, surrounded and exhausted, but still fight on... And not only do they fight on, they take 3 quarters of each unit of men fighting against them with them... And gods help you if you're attacking a city and they're defending the gate... Maybe their stats should be reduced just a tiny bit? Or maybe not, whatever everyone else things.

One more basic thing... Playing as the Romans (as always) I just got the 'most advanced faction' message... It said something about Hellenic greatness knowing no boundaries... It should have said Roman greatness knows no boundaries.
