Roman troops are too strong at the beginning.

[Horst Nordfink]

E-reputation?!

In my opinion, some of the Roman troops are clownshoes ie hastati, rorarii and every cavalry they can recruit with the exception of equites extraordinarii.

Principes are pretty good, triarii are ok for what they do. It all depends on how good you are on the battlefield. I am damn awful, so they don't seem that overpowered to me.
