Romans/Strategy

Strategy
The Romans are primarily an offensive civilization and can also make a good defensive civilization as well due to the cheaper cost of building infrastructure. Although they produce the best Legions in the game, the player cannot rely on them heavily since they are effective against heavily defensive Areas. A combined assault of mixed units must be implemented in order to ensure a true military victory. The Romans are one of a few civilizations that work well in both land and water maps since have full access to Iron Age technologies found at the Dock. One major drawback is that they lack crucial upgrades in both at the Stable and the Archery Range, making them ineffective at quick rushes. The only best cavalry they can train is the Scythe Chariot while the only archer they can produce is the Improved Bowman. Other than that, the Romans are one of the best civilizations available in the game since their civilization bonuses are effective from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. This makes the Romans only one of a few civilizations that are effective in both Random Map and the Deathmatch mode of the game. Usually, most civilizations in the game are powerful in only one game mode and weaker in the other. However, just like the Yamato, the Romans are the only exception to this.
