Defend your walls

This is a way secure your medal in battle. Enemies has a lots soldiers, horses, elephants, but you have only few, or one unit of archers, also one unit of swordsman, legionaries... and your wall (Must be stone wall, large stone wal, or epic stone wall). Set your archers on the walls and your infantry behind gates. If enemy forces has not onagers (catapults) or archers, better for you. Also, you mustn't have infantry, it may be elephants or cavarly. By your ''ground forces'' go in front of gate so enemy can go to you. After they came in range of your archers, your ''ground forces'' must urgently retreat behind walls, so gate become closed. Archers will do their job, and enemy wouldn't has any chances, expect if they have missile troops of onagers. It's a way to go through battle with so few, or no casaulties. But, it'll be more difficult if enemy general has lots of stars in his commeand skills. However, it will be a one great HEROIC VICTORY! for you!

Marius Reforms

if you build a Tier 5 barracks (or possibly any tier 5 building but i belive its barracks) the marius reforms activate. this replaces most roman units like so:
Roman archers---Archer auxilla
Equites----Cav. Auxilla
Hastati, Prin. and Triarii---Cohorts and of Legionary units

Note that your units WILL no be replaced. if you have a army of hastati they will not turn to First Leg. Cohorts. you must still train them. my advice, if playing as a none roman faction in campaign is to take rome BEFORE the Marius Reforms or you will have a tough time, espically the greeks and other phalanx armies.

Stand off:

When you are outnumbered, have low forces, and know that you will lose, get a good stand off position by gathering all of your remaining forces, and go to a hill or the highest position if possible. If that is unavailable, go into the forests. Then, gather your forces and put all archers in the very back, all medium to close ranged missile weapons in middle, and all of your spearmen in the front with the legionnaires, swordsmen, etc. just behind. If you have elephants or horses, put them javelins. Then, with the spearmen formation, you can either wait for the enemy to hit the spearmen then charge with horses. However it would be better to horse charge them when they are in archer or javelin range, then keep bombarding them. Next, use all of your swordsmen to attack after the enemy hits the spearmen. Then, use all of your forces to charge, except for the archers. Move them away from the fight and keep bombarding. This is also a good choke point defensive maneuver.
