Are the Romans too Powerful?

[guineawolf]

There are a few problems with this theory.
1. Romans enjoy having cav break you side flanks.Any attempt to run away would end in more casualties than normal.
2.Having troops that could be in combat sit and rest seems kinda crazy to me.

yes,it is posible when you are defending a street,mostly i put 3 line of phalanxe waiting for enemy come for slaughter so when they pass through the first line there will be second line of spearwall waiting for them.You dun need to cover all streets,coz enemy won't move a lot to go to your back,mostly they attack from front and your side.

i idn't tell you to run away,but you can wait for the gap that enemy fall back and regroup,in that time,you are free to fall back,let the full strength squad to replace your duty.
