Lets take a vote .
? i think im number 5, i retreat sometimes, altough morale system is bad sometimes, my troops lost 10 morale when i save them for doom.. 60 soldiers against 500 of theirs! if they would be praetorians i would perhaps make my last stand there, but they were Legio II Augusta Miles..
EDIT: i know what you are thinking, im coward retreating. Nope, i fought that battle a lot longer (Amazing how of all battles this is one i rememember bestly!) at start it was 500 vs 1500-1700, i though i had good changes, but i think my troops were too newbies, and so i had to take those remaining 60 men (reserve) and go back to a fort. I gave them 1 000 men losses versus my own 400 men losses, and most of my troops were basic Augusta Miles (loriga hamata legions are weaker than loriga segmetanta) so that explains my defeat.
So, after i retreated to camp, i had know 160 men, and when they made their assault, i slaughtered their 500 soldiers.
Anyway, what i learned: I ALWAYS train 40% of my men higher tier than miles.
