Most Ridiculously Lope-sided Autobattles 3500 v 1510

That should teach you to create that kind of an army.

Yup, apparently a half stack of elite 2hp heavy gastarne + 4 other stacks of support infantry are worthless against the mighty levy phalangites and levy spearmen. :(

Ever played 'paper, scissor, stone'?

Thats why balanced armies are important. Every unit can be countered with the right opponents and tactics. If you have a whole stack of just one type of unit, you risk losing the lot if they come up against the units they are weak against (think of the romans at carrhae).

Balanced armies means that weaknesses are supported by other units who are strong against them.

And its more fun to play with balanced armies...

Well, I did have a balanced army. In my other stacks, I had 8-10 mercenary phalangites, Cretan archers, Northern Gallic Merc Swordsmen, Classical hoplites, Pontic spearmen, etc
