Quote:I have a question; could somebody explain to me what the military situation was during Flavius Aetius's period in the western empire?
All I know is that he lost a battle against Bonifacius in 432

We should remember that due to Aetius' political intrigue North Africa, the Western Empire's wealthiest province, was lost to the Vandals. This greatly reduced revenues to the imperial coffers which exacerbated the Empire's declining military situation.

Quote:P.S. I'm trying to work this whole thing out in Rome: Total War setting but I don't know where to look for this specific and 'hard-to-get' info

This book will help you with creating historically plausible armies - Persian, Barbarians, and Romans.

Are you playing the "Invasio Barbarorum" mod (updated version) ?
They've added new factions like : Lakhmid Arabs and Armenians.
