What difficulty are you playing on?

I play VH/H it makes the battles last a long time.

So far my campain has been going a lot better with VH/M difficulty. The rebel spawns took one of my cities, since I only could afford one field army and two cities were undersige by rebels at once; good to see them doing something for a change. I don't know how I would even be able to afford an army without the 3000 mine income I'm getting, and my armies aren't even that expensive as the getia.

Another question: What unit size do you guys use? I like huge, as it makes me worry about my population actually, and I think it helps keep the ai from making stack after stack of the same crappy units that i need to beat over and over. Although the greek cities population might need rasing, I think they are all down under 600 people by about 260bc some how.

Currently I think I am using Normal (40/41/42 men for hastati/principes/triarii) but I sort of wish I'd used the next one up (Large? 80/81/82) since its more visually impressive and it might make enemy units a bit more dense so my cavalry cannot breeze through with their current insouciance. :)

I was playing on Normal in my previous Casse campaign, and while it was fun while it lasted, my current Getai campaign on Large is a hell of a lot better. The points you mentioned are indeed the way it is. Go for it in your next campaign.

for the "civilized" factions i play vh/m but i just can't get far as "barbarians" at that level. except for the gauls perhaps, but i gave up my averni campain with the new patch
