Where's Yasser Arafat? [My Roman Campaign in the Levant]

[Kολοσσός]

Battles are easy enough as it is, without grouping stacks together like that. Sounds boring.

Why don't you have Polybian, or even post-Marian troops so late in the game? Did you activate the script?

I have one legion of Polybian troops. What do you know about the composition of my troops-just because you are seeing a screenshot with one stack selected? What about the other formations? Well, you are just guessing. Just because you get Polybian reforms doesn't mean you get your Camilian barracks destroyed unless you want to. You can continue training Camilian troops. The stack you're seeing is one of the first legions I created in the game and it's from the Camilian times. I play with the script ON. There are no post-Marian units because I haven't met the conditions for Marian reforms yet and I don't have a general with the right traits. I have only 68 settlements conquered at this time. The only guarantee of getting the Marians is to conquer 90 settlements-otherwise you can be at your computer for the next 10 years in real time. By the way-a statement that a one on one battle against a legion of phalanx troops vs. your Roman troops is "easy" makes me wonder if you played the game at all. I have played countless one on one battles against my opponents. I agree they can be fairly easy against naked barbarians with an armor-rating of "2". EB is not Medieval II. They don't break and run on first cavalry impact from a flank-they stand their ground. Anybody can have a "clear victory" while suffering 50% losses. My mom plays like that. The key to playing it right is preserving the experience of your forces so they're not bled white...
