Provacateures are pretty much waste of space. Speed is paramount ability then comes dex and str. Retarius, thraex and dimachaerus is IMO best team combination. Retarius should ignore developing cure, thraex berserk since using them will you lose a round. Anything that improve speed, dex or str should be maxed while improving those abilities. So Thraex shoul be and up with very high dex and dimachaerus should end up with 120+ with both in str and speed by level 40. Retarius can take shiled bash from murmillo after net is maxed out so if throwing arm is disabled you can still strike back. It was easy to win rome even when my opponents were 12 levels abouve me. High speed score makes your guys go first so you maybe can kill/ disbale one of the opponents and net another before they have chance to strike back.
Played this on thru ages ago but does not seem to get badges. Thhis is nice game but not nice enought to grind it thru second time for badges. Maybe that should be fixed ?
