I agree that the Romans are tough - as Aedui, after crushing the Arverni, I was recently fighting them
My tactics basically revolved around the mala gaeroas in the centre holding off the Principes and hastati while a couple of units of Gaesatae flank them. They sent a lot of men at me and though I was crushing them in Italy, they bribed the settlements behind me and cut off any supplies.
Eventually I began hiring Samnites to fill the gap left by the deaths of my gaeroas. The Romans are tough but the simple hammer-and-anvil tactic can break them.
My most entertaining battle of the antiRoma campaign occurred after I botched my tactics and four units of gold chevron gaesatae were surrounded by the entire Roman triarii and principes army.
Poor Romani never stood a chance -![]()
I am now being attacked by the Sweboz and the Epeirotes a year after defeating Rome, and I expect to be fighting the Iberians the moment they take the last Karthadastim city in Hispania. I have only one small semi-professional army left and it's got to break through a lot of rebels before going to help repel the evil Sweboz.
I love this mod.
