Is there a particular reason why, after a while, the Julii water their armies down with them to the point that their Cohorts would be better off alone?
I'm starting to almost feel sad, watching them line up into long, thin rows, only to throw themselves against my wall of shields and spearpoints.
I plundered Rome generations ago, eliminating the Senate. I've taken all the Brutii cities, and the last four Scipii family members died at the hands of one of the great young generals of this generation, who purged the last of the wretched Roman refuse from the African wilderness. During the latter pursuits, my foe continued to muster field-grade line troops up to the last stand.
Now, I've faced full stack armies, with as many as 16 of the units being composed of Auxilia, who continuously proceed to rush headlong into my lines, route after a quarter of their number are felled, and fall into little clusters, whereupon the deeper ranks of Hoplites and Pikemen on my left flank shift to eliminate the group left on that side, while my thinner right flank wheels about to ram into and partially surround the other remnants. It's almost demoralizing to watch anymore. And all the routing Auxilia get the Cohorts shaking in their boots.
