Tell me about it, how do you think the battle at Cannae was won? Trying to recreate this battle in the RTW engine is only possible with some beefy morale troops and even then you'll suffer more casulaties than Hannibal did. He deployed his frontline troops similar to:

Code:
        xxx
    xxx     xxx
xxx             xxx
and let the front troops give ground. On the sides were pike units, hidden in the trees, ready to crush the Romans if they caught the bait. Which they did.
