Late game Brutii Stack Spam

[fluffybunnyuk]

Hi im playing almost vanilla rtw using alx.exe on VH/VH near civil war. Only mods are bugfixer and darthmod formations and balanced ai personalities in descr_strat.

Heres my problem... im looking at a screenshot(see attached) 150BC around aquinicium with 370 (i counted them) brutii units about 12 are full stacks consisting of legionary first cohorts,urban cohorts h.onagers and wardogs/cav mix...

I can raise maybe 10 full stacks of armies (12urban cohort,4 h.onager,4 cav) from across my 40 region empire...

I tried triggering the civil war several times but get spanked badly..so any ideas?

p.s. Ive been playing a long time and have no problems on a unmodded 1v2 battle but any ideas how to make urban cohorts buffed by 1st cohorts rout cos even down to 20 men they keep on fighting cos of the VH bonuses lol

holy that must be annoying! aim for the smaller groups and pick them of one by one. avoid auto resolve. or get at least 3 to 4 stacks there before you make war.Take their cities quick and defend from there, if possible. forts can be useful for the same.

OMG LoL. WTF is that? Never seen so many stacks in one area...
