    The Hastati and Principes are stronger and have better morale, and you now have Velites instead of those 3 other units.

    Triarii did become weaker though still quite strong, the equites did also become weaker.

    But since Rome is an Infantry force it does get stronger by it, I gues.

    Triarii gone weaker and can't hold the phalanx again... but the Polybian princepes is the best troops available for clearing up the wall (save Envocatae and Praetorians)... Polybian Hastai are the best light troops available, and their velites can easily kill Peltastai with proper use...

    THat's right their cav sux, but why not training hellenic / gallic equivalent?

    If you train a historically accurate Army your army will be better after the reforms. the Ai and Elite Spammers are not very fond of the developement^^

    You still have Accensi AFAIK. Leaving you with skirmishers and slingers, but no Rorarii; once again AFAIK.

    If you form your army properly, you shouldn't have to use the Triarii at all.

    As for the best units? Pedites Extrodinari. Keep them back and then charge them when you need to a decisive blow and watch the rout begin. PedEx FTW
    Strikeout!

    "If"s are irrelevant. One can win a battle with only horse archers, but does that mean they want to use only horse archers?

    Agreed. They are my favourite as well. Triarii work the best as line holders and anti-cavalry units. PEs work best against heavily armoured infantry and cavalry units, as well as making superb flankers. Although I would recommend Hastati or Principes as flankers.

    Ok, understood. I think i will keep the camillan barrack at Capua, just to be able to keep training camillan Triarii and Equites Romanii. ;-) Camillan Triarii rocks!!!
