[EB] Thoughts on balancing Rome in a historical way

[antisocialmunky]

Ludens is right, but we can't stat individual soldiers, at all. Stats are for entire units, so we'll have to differentiate somehow. If Imperials were +1 against Marians but 90 men, they'd have to cost cheaper than Marians in that case. But then would the Marians still not be able to field 20 units? That's become an issue since the legionary is their primary ingredient.

Well the assumption for 20 unit armies should be broken away. Macedon can't actually field a decent 20 unit army anyway (if you want your hammer and anvil anyway). If you really made the legion as good as it is in the new statting system and you couldn't make a 20 unit army and it can still win games, who cares about filling all your slots?

You could shoot for an army that looks like 10 cohorts, 4 auxillaries, 2 cavalry or something.
