Somewhat true....but that was much later after the reforms. I'm still using some original (experienced - worth keeping) and Polybius units. I can still win even when outnumbered sometimes (though it's tougher on hard). Alot depends upon what type and mix of units they've fielded. I actually have more trouble with the better or elite hoplite units than I do against the Celtic tribes.
