but I think it would be better - and more realistic - if really exceptional elite-units such as the gasatae (and the holy band phanlanx, the spartians, ....) would be restricted, so you could only have a certain amount of them at the same time.

I wonder if they could be made into non-recruitable but regenerating units (like the FM bodyguards). They'd be created by script, and if they get wiped out they're recreated at the capital with one man (to regenerate up). So the Gaulish factions get a regenerating unit of naked fanatics each, created at the capitals or wherever is appropriate. The KH get a unit of Spartans at Sparta (and not if they lose Sparta). The Maks get a unit of Hypaspists created at the capital, upgrading to two if they have 25+ provinces. Sacred Band at Carthage. And so on, as appropriate.

Or something along those lines...

Imposible and inacurate, IMHO.

EDIT: Marodeur, your idea is impossible for RTW, but is already in the pipeline for EB2, AFAIK.

Hope dies last. (i don't know whether this is understandable in english, it's the translation of a german saying "Die Hoffnung (hope) stirbt (dies) zuletzt (last)".)

Gaul. A land of rolling hills, strong rivers...and Aedui. God I hate them. I have at least 4 legions (army with 15 units) in Gaul, but the experienced Gaesaetae are always a problem for me. Gallic armies with a few of these hard asses in em i can take. Its just when seven supported by Solduros come at me i begin to wet myself. How would you guys tackle this situation? Keeping in mind I outfit European legions with

I usally conentrate missilefire on Gaesatae/elite-units, pin them down and brake their backs with cavalry. in short: beat the hell out of them.

or "Hope is the last to die".
