[EB] Thoughts on balancing Rome in a historical way

[gamegeek2]

I actually like the points you guys bring up because it goes to show that we would do best to make a clear distinction between bringing a Marian army and an Imperial one, and currently there isn't a big incentive to bring one over the other. Big.

So I would give the +1/+1 melee bonus to the imperials (with the corresponding cost increase for non-barbarians) and reduce them to 90 men in size? That way the units are represented as a mix of veterans and a few greener troops.

How much would they be if you kept them at 200 and figured out a way to decrease the size of auxillaries somewhat?

No. Keep size the same, but make aux sig cheaper.
