difficulty level?

[Alkarin]

any1 else find it kinda hard because the greeks and gauls are sending full armies at you everyturn? of is this just me? im only playing on medium

[Echo26]

The greeks and gauls are supposed to send full stacks all the time. You should be lucky its not german stacks

[Alkarin]

well how can i beat them? I have 4 legions up north, 1 at appollina 1 at the settlement below it, another just landed west of corinth and 1 is on a ship on his way to sparta

[Echo26]

Well with the gauls just try to fight defensive battles mostly. Oh and use the shield wall formation. Its the buttom that used to change formations to loose, but now makes them shield walls.

And I think you should pull at least one legion from the north to aid the greece campaign. Remember to use force concentration.

[Alkarin]

alright will do. i just lost my faction leader because he was under AI controll and was being a tard in a battle up north =\ so ill take his legion down to corinth

[Echo26]

Ya I usually try my hardest not to let the AI control any armies. Once you get a good hold on greece and macedonia though you will have a good deal of money to raise new legions.

[Hesus de bodemloze]

don' t forget to disable the reinforcement legions. i mean put them under your control not the ai s control. generals charge very fast in enemy lines and get killed even fasther.

never let the AI control your men, NEVER

Never.

Never.

Then show me how you beat a SPQR army with a single Republic Legion...

[Prince Nuada]

theres a formation for 1 legion that can be very strong i forgot the name

i have done it before it was not easy

[czePowerslave]

Lol, actually, to the never let AI control your army point, if Im fighting like 6-8 stack battle, I aint sending my legions one by one to get killed. Rather have generals dead then whole army dead. Not that costy

[franks_tank]

If the general is an idiot anyway it's not too sad when he commits suicide...if necessary I always play the most skilled myself but try to protect the others as good as possible...it's not like "more Stars=less suicidal" or is it?...I never saw a difference

[Ozy]

yep. I allways have at least 2 family members/general commanding an army just in case, that way if the stupid AI kills 1 there is a chance the other one will live. However never let the AI take control of your best men, and especially not of you best generals. Give it the ones that are just beginning a career, if they make it they'll prove they are worthy .

Wait so what unit do you switch out so you have an open spot?

Mmm velites or slingers/archers. Generally my legions' only mandatory things are the 10 cohorts, 1 missile, 1 javelin, and 2 cav (or 5 hastatii, 5 princeps and 3 triarii for premarian). After that I pretty much fill the extra space with whatever I want/is available.

@ Templar Knight

Not bad, maybe i should have tried it too.
I will try it in a custom battle soon.
