Battles are not that great

[ProbusVerus]

I just wanted to share some thoughts about battles in here.
I commend you wanted to give us some level of control in these but I think in truth we don't have much control and we end up losing troops like flies and the process of recruiting them back is long and quite frankly tiresome.

I wish there was level of tactics in these battles to help us reduce casualties or we had a way to increase troops survivability (like troops experience of some sort). Infantry which was the crown of Roman legions are simply put worthless as they are.

I wish we had a reinforce legion button where if we have the materials we can recuperate the troops lost after a battle instead of manually enlisting each one of them again.

I wish troops who survived get tougher and more resilient.
Currently these battles are just an exercise of numbers and attrition and there is little depth or strategy involved.

This is the least fun part of an overall fun game.

Thank you so much for your feedback. This help us work in the right direction for future updates. We completely understand your point, and are already working in some changes in the battle system. As city building is the core of the game, and battles are not as deep and polished yet. We are working in changing battles in two ways: first is adding content, like new units or different maps, and the other one is a gameplay update, with new options. and further changes in game mechanics. Please have a little patience, since we are an indie team and resources are limited.

Thank you for your reply and I totally understand battles are not a focus of the game. Looking forward for what are you doing next :)

I love the idea, i don't have the game but the battles are inspired by Legion Arena/History channel Great Battles of Rome. Which for me isn't that bad considering how i liked it back then.
But in fact it seems the main problem is the number of troops. Like All antiquity games can't repplicate full battles so : maybe try to improve it to actually represent more than 2000 men ? like based on 5/10 cohorts maximum maybe represented by 80 men each (Centurie size) but it can be correct with cav to support and archers/auxiliary troops.
I'll soon buy the game to discover what it can offer! As a complete fan of Caesar series and Slitherine Legion Gold and such.
