Drubbing Elite Makadon Scuta'n Sarissa Walls?

**cmacq** · 01-03-2008, 02:53

Out of necessity I'm forced to embroil myself in an early Camillan Era war with a resurgent Makadonia that had come to dominate much of Greece. Has anyone found an easy way to quickly rout these massed Argyraspides? Often its like fighting tanks with spitwads. I've fought the Makos many times before with great and rapid success, but never like this.

And...
do these Makos ever run out of men?

Neitos will smash their asses .

Never used them. How and why are they better on the attack; when and where can they be had? Are they Polybian Era?

Neitos are not only heavily armored but their sword has a .225 lethality .

You can get them in Venetia , Liguria, Amelia . Those are all right next door to you . Level 4 regional MIC will get them .

Master of all Italy, yet its still very early in the game and level 4s in the north remains a ways off. Have you a plan B?

Your screwed .

Unless you've got Triarii .

i posted this ages ago over at the TWC, as you can see (i dont go over there anymore- the EB forums there arent nearly as alive as they are here!

)

its pretty effective, especially if you have troops which like to ambush......
