Gaesatae way too overpowered

[mAIOR]

Yeah the problem with pre-polybian romans would be that most of them had little armor. And, if you have a dude with little armor, no pain reducing drugs and a wish to come back alive and a dude with no armor, drugged to a frenzin and who doesn't care if you removed a considerable portion of his intestine, I place my money on the second one. Gaesatae are fine in EB as they are I believe. I seldomly have problems with them (ok when they send 2 units in the middle of a battle where you're at numerical disadvantage and your troops are spent, granted they can bother you...) as I'm able to dispatch them easilly (nothing beats a triarii charge from the flanks to teach them rascals a thing or two about warare) thanks to missiles and heavy infantry.
I believe the main problem is most people trying to take them 2 on 1 with weak troops like pre-Polybian Princeps or Hastatii. Those guys have little armor and I imagine in Real life they'd want to get home to their wifes and fields again. So that gives Gaesatae a heads up no?
Also their drug would probably be some kind of Fungus (maybe grain fungus common in France responsible for severe alucinations like werewolves and vampires and lycantropy behavior) as they produce some nasty side effects...
