when the game starts i try to take control of the romans early on as they are very srtong later on in the game, however i can normally only destroy 2 of the 3 houses. for instance in my current game im gaul. i destroyed julli and brutii but scipii are still their. now they are starting to invade spain which i control and there armies are unbelieveable made up with triari, principles and hastaii. whats the best units to train to compete against such armies?

ok, this is hard. You need to train cavalry units and since the Gauls do not have many it is going to be a hassle, train them if you can also sending out your family members and generals and recruit mercinary horses to go against the romans, when the battles start (take control of the battles yourself if you do not already) and split your army into 3 sections all cavalry try not to use infantry they get massacred, try and use your cavalry t capture individual units of romans by planking them, try and outnumber them too when they start to rout go to the next one, you need to use hit and run, keep using these tactics and you will destroy mass roman armys with relativly few casultys to your soldiers
