What would be interesting is if these battle simulators work well or not...one of them is telling me that 2000 swordsmen can trump pretty much anything without a high infantry defense...it didn't ask for the wall bonus though so I think it's fairly flawed....
But it also said that 100 Haeduan are more powerful for their crop consumption than 300 swordsmen and phalanx and you can use them inter-changeably rather than use 600 crop and leave the 300 phalanx home for defense...
Anybody have any better simulators to advise me to use? I'm currently building my 100 Haeduans to start attacking my neighbours....so I shud be able to prove the Haeduan simulation (or disprove it) fairly soon...
