    And I thought I was pushing it just fighting the Aedui and Carthaginians at the same time. The thought of having to throw Polybians at overpaid, overarmored Hellenic phalanxes on top of it is horrifying.

    Polybians? Just send Neitos there


    (joke aside, they are extremely effective; you can even charge phalanxes from the front without too much risk in you want :P Not much historical though, I would guess :P)

    Polybians can actually cut it, though, as long as they are principes/triarii. And that is if you have lonchophoroi/brihentin doing the outflanking.
