    Oop, not you. Numidian skirmishers are surprisingly good.

    I meant seienchin, since camillans shouldn't lose to Lugoae

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?
    You can sift through the penny jar

    M/M...
    Of course they wouldnt loose a one on one battles, but I used them atacking from mountains etc. and they had no problem beating Hastati and Principes and eventually Triarii it just took like forever...
    But I hated them when I played Aedui cause the germanic units are just insane against lugoae...
    By the way I did a custom battle in a plain battleground and my marian legions lost against the sweboz, when using the same amount of money. May be it was the Alexander Ki but the germans just flanked them and teared them to peaces in close combat...

    I tend to use mercs as cannon fodder. Always when I take a city I hire some mercs to climb the walls and breach the openings etc. I care about my factional units too much and don't want them to get hurt!

    Same here. lol


    The first round of the tournament has started. Who's going to prevail?

    Gladius or Sarissa, Scutum or Aspis?

    I always leave at least 2 slots open for mercs, generally the Galatikoi Kluddon, they're pretty much everywhere and they do a lot of damage. Perfect against light and most medium infantry, great flankers too.

    In my Carthage game I had to raid Egypt to slow the Ptolomies stack spam at Lepki for a decade or two. Those guys proved extremely useful as flankers. Dropped like flies, but there were always plenty more.
