one thing ive noticed, gladiators are some of the best guys out there. they have great stats, and have to health. i put the diff. on VH, i played as the scipii.
9 units of their gladiators led by me, and 20 units of ghaulic peasents.
oh what fun it is to fight!
there are only 20 men in each galdiator unit, and 60 men in each peseant unit. amazing, but predicted results.
roughly 20% overall dead on my side, and 55+% of dead on the AI's side. they fled before i could finish them all. but if ur playing the campaign and want some shock troops that will never turn and run, regardless of experience, gladiators are the way to do it. no need to get urslef surrounded by the enemy to make ur guys fight to the end. just send in the "glads" and enjoy cheap risks and high pay offs.
SEMPER FIDELIS
