[QUOTE="MaxKaladin, post: 1787975, member: 1196"] I haven't played much but I'm very fond of war dogs myself. They seem so effective that I suspect they'll be nerfed in a patch sometime. Another tactic that I'm fond of is hitting phalanx units in the flanks with cavalry. VERY effective if the cavalry get a bit of a running start. I like to use my Velites/Light auxilia up front to skirmish and make the enemy break up his line a bit. They won't do a lot of damage that I can tell, but the nearest units will go into phalanx formation and get out of step with the surrounding units and the solid line of the phalanxes gets broken up making them more vulnerable to local flank attacks. Be careful with your archers as they can easily cause friendly fire deaths. On the strategic map, watch out for squalor as it makes your cities increasingly rebellious and there seems to be little you can do to fight it. [/QUOTE]
