Romans would be an awesome addition! I myself main spartan. The one reason why spartans are “OP” is because of their shield bash ability and their large hit box protection while holding up the shield. I feel like if you could decrease the hitbox for the shield (defensive) and make the Roman shield defensive hitbox larger than the spartan it would be perfect. It is true that Hoplites had swords but their main weapon of choice was the spear. The spear was the heart and soul of a Hoplite, the whole meaning of Hoplite is: “Greek man of war.” There is no actual swordsmen within Spartan society that is a Hoplite. If you didn’t get that, it means there was never a Hoplite swords and never will be. I feel like if you were to decrease the damage and add reach to all spartan swords it would make the Roman more effective. Add the Roman with small swords, like the Gladius, to the game with fast, high damage and low reach. The big problem is the Javelins of the Romans. Now unlike the Spartans the Romans actually had swordsmen. They had all of it, in-fact most of the Roman armies were with swordmen and cavalry. Most of the Roman armies did have a few units of spearmen but they were only there for reinforcments. If you were to add Romans, make sure that you make the Javelin do very little damage. When I mean little I mean like…. As much as the saber… Maybe a little less. Of course I’m talking about the stabbing part of the mechanism, not the throwing. Romans… What a dream I’ve had…
