The only thing I can tell you is good luck, I have no suggestions. It has been a very long time (and a dark one) since I played as the Romaioi. Don't read below if you know me well.

I really wonder what you guys got against the Romans :P
Well, for some Romans I can imagine (like Cato or Cassius) you hate them, but if you look at others (Gaius Julius Caesar) you can only say: Romans deserved to rule the world. ^^
Maion, what faction are you currently playing, if you're doing an EB campaign at the moment I begin to wonder. Makedonia? Hehe that's just trying to restore forgotten hope. Oh, and I forgot to mention, they got owned too by your Romaioi!
(lol I plan to play Makedonia after I've finished my Romani campaing too, so ..)

Re: Romani Campaign
For your condition now, it seems that all you need is "enemy diet program", well, for the Romaioi you play, you should try to hire some Urodusios (Naked spearmen) to made your line scary to the enemy... that way, you eliminate their advantage over you (some Lusos and Swebozes had 15 morale)... and AFAIK the Romaioi could hire them...
According to your condition, I suggest you to start recruiting more slingers (Iasotae) so you could kill most of those missile allergic barbarians before their filthy hands touch your over shinning armor... and never neglect curepos / gallic light cav... they are your best friends to stab their cousins from the back... Do not bother to train massive Nietos Army, at least for field battle... your Reformed cohort has more men and cheaper... use them for sieges though, as they are better in frontal combat...
Well, that's all u need

Re: Romani Campaign
Nothing, it's just an inside-joke between us Romaioktonoi. And yes, I'm playing a Makedonian campaign. And as a matter of fact, I'm hammering your beloved people. Harharhar! Not to mention I control Rome herself. Harharhar!LOL

Re: Romani Campaign
OMG he dishonoured Roma!
After I've finished my 1.1 Bi.exe Romani campaign, I am, as I said, going to play a Makedonia campaign on 1.2 ALEX.exe. But why don't you just leave the Romans alive? I like real expansion, and Alexander didn't go to the west at all (although it is said that he wanted to conquer Italy and after that cross the Atlantic..?)
Could you Romaioktonoi at least make an exeption in your hatred for Julius Caesar? You must admit, he's above all the other Romans, isn't he? ()

The only good Romaioi is Octavian, because he tear down the corrupt Republic, a pity his mother force him to had something a child shouldn't get...
The only Romaioi that deserve a pity is Vorenus, who try to protect caesar and find his childrens kidnapped...
Look at my spoiler in my signature, and u find something...

Re: Romani Campaign
Dishonoured? I made your polis less smelly by funding public bath places, Asklepieia and so forth. Not to mention I cleared the over-crowded polis by sending half the population to work for my mines in Makedonia and Attike. And yes, Megas Alexandros had plans of conquering Italia and Africa as well.OMG he dishonoured Roma!

No exception is to be made for any Romaios. It is true he was a good man and exceptional in warfare, plus he cried when he saw the statue of Megas Alexandros at the age of 19. This shows character, if you ask me. Respect for the superior.

Re: Romani Campaign
That's so true, He cried as he was (at that age, due to the required age to lead an army in the Republic)
a nobody, and Alexander at that age conquered half the world already.
And what did Caesar do, conquer Gaul and stage a coup d'Etat, while Alexandros defeated the most powerful empire the world had ever seen!

Re: Romani Campaign
I did read that Caesars book, and i have this in mind:
1) Alexander conquered one big empire, one big enemy.
2) You say that Caesar conquered Gaul: yeah, he did: he conquered it tribe by tribe mostly. He wasnt fighting one big enemy, but many little ones. Galia was disunited, and i'm not sure if Caesar would have achieve what he did if the Gauls were not so naive, childlish and fragmented. Afterall, he did shit his pants when 2-3 tribes were about to unite: and he surely would shit his entire entrails if all the Gauls manage to unite them selves and attack him like they should.
While Alexander did drink one huge bottle, Caesar drinked little cup by little cup.
