what units are you using? scorpions are the key. mass enough helepoleis and you will wreck those pesky horse archers. I don't even think there is another way to beat horse archers with the romans. THey will also make short work of teh wonder as your legionaires soak arrows in front

Trajan's entire campaign is just "spam helepolis and win". Straight up the only exception is the first level, and that's only because you can't access ballistas at all. I had to go look at the wiki to even remember what the levels were.

I'm not bagging on the campaign designer either. Spam one unit and win is just the extent of AoE1's gameplay.

Exactly, helepolis and siege engineer are really all the tech upgrade you need. 7-10 siege workshop and all in helepolis.

I dislike the tactics. The AI starts with a huge heavily defended city and then just builds a wonder behind it to try and cheese its way to victory. The ultimate display of a scumbag strategy!
