Sigh...well, I lost my first battle last night. I was instructed to take Athens by the senate...and those damn hoplites in their phalanx!!! I even hit them from behind with my cavalry, but I didn't have enough to break them...now I'm just ignoring the Senate since they keep asking me to take the other Greek cities. Any advice when fighting all hoplite armies? Mine was a mix..hastati, velites, 3 light cavalry units, 2 war dog units, 1 archer unit, a couple town watches, and of course my general's heavy cavalry.
So now instead, i'm going to crush the Greek Navy and take Carthage (which is in Numidian hands right now anyway). Then I'll worry about the Greeks.
