I was wondering what you all pick when you play as Roman factions with 10000 denarii, I suck at making armys that are any good with 10000. I need some new ideas..
thx. If you feel like writing, tell me aswell the tactics you use with that army.
One army I pick is 8 preatorians, 3 or 4 equites, and 1 or 2 Roman Archers, General unit is an Equite.
I put my COhorts in a big line, but leave a gap in the middle,and put my cavalry in between them, with archers behind..
c = Cohorts E = Equites R = Roman Archers
C C C C E E C C C C
E E
R R
The enemy will see the cavalry in the centre as a weak spot, and as soon as the enemy close in on them with lots of units, I pull them back fast and split my archers to the sides, then flank them on both sides with my cohorts and swing my cavalry back round if theres a flank chance.
Its a real Roman tactic, good against barbarians, if the army has lots of archers or cav it will be hard.
