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.
Re: Why is Scholae Palantinae better 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?

Re: Why is Scholae Palantinae better than Sarmatian Auxillia?
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.

Overall The Palantinae have heavier armour and a better cavalry weapon. They're also a diciplined unit in contrast to the barbarian Sarmatians (I think). Throwing the odds back in the palantinaes favour.
Campaigh wise the sarmatians are a better option for the Roman army due to their lower tech requirements and faster production. Personally i use them to hunt pesky horse archers down. At which they excel.

Simply, the Scholae Palantinae has a better morale.

Re: Why is Scholae Palantinae better than Sarmatian Auxillia?
Are you sure they are better? With two lower attack and one lower defence, I can't see why they would win. Their morale is one higher, but I doubt that is enough to compensate. I think CA dropped the ball balancing these two units. The SP are pointless compared to the SA (who also have the key advantages of being one turn builds and fast cav.).
Re: Why is Scholae Palantinae better than Sarmatian Auxillia?
I really can't think of anything else (That is, if Scholae Palantinae 'does' beat Sarmatian Auxillia).
