Let's take 80 clubbies, which most of the CF teutons have by now.
vs. 40 attacking legionaires, which a scant few of the CF romans have by now.
Everyone dies.
Romans lose 17600 resources.
Teutons lose 20000 resources.
Romans can't afford to win too many of those victories :P
My conclusions after playing with the combat simulator were:
1. I'd rather tech to imperians and spam them than legions because at least then when I win against teuts I really do win.
2. Romans are not really strong until everyone nears max crop consumption, and cost does not matter as much as how many troops you can actually field. Given equal numbers, Romans win. Of course, that point must be a half year or more into the game. (I think this ties into what Dur was saying)
Thoughts?
