    ah, well one last question for you, why do Hastati tire out so easily if they are younger and more lightly armored then principes?

    well for one thing, just because you're younger doesnt mean youre more vigorous. the hastati and principes wore the same equipment, more or less, the term being 'a full panoply' of gear. in EB II this will be more accurately represented. For the first part, If hastati are teenagers, principes are men in their middle twenties to thirties, in the prime of their life and peak of their physical powers, who've fought in battles before probably.
