Bure, you make good points. And 1st Cohort is limited to one on the field, but if that wasn't mentioned in the rules, it was taken for granted. How do you envision a consensus on alterations in order to encompass those changes? What do you propose?
Proposals for factionals:

Sauro- add skudra tabari , skuda uaezdaettae ( to enable some non-ranged options , making i easier to respect the rules and still field a good army)
- add one of the following -Aspet hetselazar /mezenai/asiatikoi hippeis- sauros rly need factional medium non-archer cav.

Getai - add scythian foot archers

Pontos & rest o successor - make thracians mercs ( except maks , they can keep them , that's their flavour)

pontos - make scythians mercs


I think that if you chang these the following will happen-

less Pontos players , but still played due to galatians as facs.
more baktria , more egypt , as they appear more interesting now as successor states.
more getai players. I for one , being romanian and stuff , would love a crack at a game in which i actually force a player to make the first move.
More romans , but less prima cohors spam , still manageable.Maybe trim down their mercs lists?:))

these are some few options. More tweaks can be made , but essentially most problems come from "guard mode" romans/ hoplites , making getai/luso/swebos and esp celtic armies cry.
