So the game does not show up in the ladder till the other person verifies it, correct?

I usually start with endurance and block, then follow up with swordsman and amour penetration.

hey, I'm not suggesting anything drastic, but orcs agains romans would be cool.

I agree, an orc mod would be very cool

I see it as taking the best of the Republican/Hoplite Army 'Triarri' and the best of the Imperial Army 'Praetorians' in order to make my uber mixed army.

My armies mainly consist of Triarri and Praetorians with some back up archers/velites and cavalry. If you want to spice things up, Elephants are awesome too. Either way I pick my units from the top tier soldiers.

Well, I look forward to playing everyone online...just a few more weeks.

Hehe, I hope you do better than the last time I played against you 2-0
