    One time when i was roman, i held gunia (the settlement north east of arretium, by sea.) i had stone walls but it was still a village thing (what a shame) it was 300 roman legionnaires vs 1600 troops, ( YES THATS RIGHT! im playing on regular or medium unit size because i dont like 50000 people on the same map) it was a full macedonian stack that started the siege and a germanic full stack that somehow i overlooked, but they both had siege equipment. So i accessed the situation, and concluded that it would be best just to defend the center. So i set my legionnaires in a good defensive position around the center, and prepared for the worst, it took the armies at least 30 mins in game time to reach me, i watched as my walls were easily taken since they were unoccupied, as the macedonian phalanx's approached my battle lines, i started to panic, phalanxes could EASILY destroy my men if i didnt flank them! but there was no way to flank all my exits were full of enemy troops heading for me! the barbarian scum reached my lines first, they were easily dispatched, the macedonians were a little harder. Somehow the macedonians flanked with hypatists (spelling) and were combined with the barbarian forces, they allmost overwhelmed my battle line but the WELL TRAINED legionnaires held fast, blocked well, and stabbed the enemy before the enemy stabbed them. the barbarians all routed like cowards! Pah! 800 barbarians vs around 120 legionnaires ( i had 3 different lines, one blocking north entrance to center, one east and one west, macedonians were all on west sept for 2 formations of hypatists(Spelling) who went to the est side to help the barbarians, who were on the north and east side) so my northern entrance was clear of threat, so i sent them to the east side to help the worsening situation there, shortly after the macedonians all fled from the battlefield! BAH! and they call themselves warriors! so i focused all my forces on the western entrence, and the rest of the barbarians (300 maybe) all routed easily, i had taken 50 casualties while killing 1025 enemy soldiers. NOW THAT! is a heroic victory.

    That was a quite a cool story, always fun watching the Romans get beaten back to the stone age, by the Spartan royal guard

    they are in this MOD i personally find them way better than the normal greek ones atleast they HAVE armour this time and they can work pretty well in hand to hand combat.

    The archers are Athenian Marine Archers. As archers they are pretty much the same as regular Greek archers, but they are also pretty good medium infantry, so they make excellent support troops.
