- Fight only with fullstacks, always outnumber your enemy and you will be able to kill them very easily.
- Spawn massive triari/pedites extraordinari armies, and show the rest of the world who's the boss.
-No matter how small and weak the enemy army may be, always attack with your fullstacks composed of your hard-core infantry. Attack enemy levies with pedites and triari only, and show your true strenght as a Roman general, and always yell "Roma vitrix!"
- Roman units are cheap, so use that advantage and build a lot of unbeatable armies. As a Roman, you have the privilege to build very cheap main army, to protect your homeland. A massive cheap army composed of elites, together with your faction leader would be optional.
-No matter what you conquer, always enslave everything: spoil whatever you can, and bring barbarian treasury to Rome: by doing that, Rome will glitter in its full brightness as a true center of the known world.
