Spears are very unbalanced

Waitaminnit... Elite? No, not really. Veterans, yes. Let's separate those words and then reconsider what you say... What on earth do you do with those veterans that makes them run from the first unit of levy phalangitai? Really that must be some horrible tactics: what you mean you simply charge right at the pointy sticks?

Seriously though: you do see that what you've written isn't exactly true, nor fair?

I was just testing basic strength...even running head first, I expect a fully trained veteran Post-Marian Cohort of the Roman empire to defeat a half trained peasant militia levy-phalangite from a disintegrating rebel Greek city state...


And how is what I wrote not fair? If levy phalangites can defeat a veteran post-Marian cohort, we might as well just spam levy phalangites. And I doubt Rome would've conquered anything beyond Italy if their post Marian Veteran cohorts were that weak.
