I like how the battles play out in the beta
I know sometimes the skirmishers seem weak, but...

It was a freak thing, but using one unit (no upgrades) unit of akontistai (those lowest level skirmishers) for the Maks, I totally annihilated in one volley (yes, that's right) an entire other unit that was at full strength. The thing was that they were close by but further up a hill, and exactly 90 degrees to the right of the advancing (about to be destroyed) unit. 240 javelins came raining down from close by and almost directly down upon this poor unit.

I'll not say what the other unit was, but I was absolutely shocked. As I said, it was a freak thing.
