Is all else equal? Generals? Morale? Experience? Weapons and armor upgrades?

yea try it out. do a 1on1 battle with sarmatian auxillia and scholae palantinae on italian lowland calm,midday. scholae palantinae will win even with its lower stats than sarmatian auxillia.

Well, it could have to do with the way these are used. Maybe Sarmation aren't meant for hand-to-hand like the Scholae Palantinae. They may be meant mainly for flanking hard, like a heavy cavalry. It really beats me, but I don't know what to tell you.

Troops per unit are equal right? Also, who charged?

[BigTex]

It may have something to do with the Scholea Palatine having lances and the Sarmatian Auxilary having just sword. Don't know though its been forever since I've played BI, blessed be EB.
