[edit] Unique Units
Heavy Spearmen: Can be recruited from City Barracks. Useful to pin the enemy if their formation is deep since they are not in the same class as hoplites or phalangites. The deeper the formation the more time you give your cavalry to deliver a decisive blow.
Armenian Legionaries: Can be recruited from Army Barracks. If you want to avoid your Heavy spearmen to become pila fodder send these guys forward to take pila fire and give the Romans a taste of their own medicine with volleys of pila. Can delay infantry trying to flank Heavy spearmen but cannot win on their own.
