its hardest tw game for a reson
what you are doing wrong is likely trying to turtle or not rushing good units and abusing them
I dont really like barbarians because their economy is dogshit and their expansion further limited by slow conversions but I can give yo example with burgundi which is strongest faction in the game.
>as you start AI is realtively weak but it will get MASSIVE stacks in no time so your goal is to rush with shitty starting units from the get go, with burgundi you have to rush state capital from my memory in either 2 or 3 turns
>you just pick all starting armies, do edicts for recruitement, buy 2-3 additional generals, and go fight them, can win with auto-resolve
>after 1st war you need to re-organize army and rush good troops (in burgundi case their shock lancers, thats like 6 turns of farms)
so you disband all your expensive units because they are not cost efficient and sit on your ass
>then you get some trash to hold line with 6-8 stacks of heavy horse which does your bitch standard hammer and anvil and can win all frontal horse engagements and steamroll ai
>your second tech is to get solid frontline to hold better, its axes from my memory
>after that you go full civil in an attempt to get economy going to recruit more
>usually you end up with 2-3 stacks (and if you cannot afford 2 from the start you get support stack of trash to auto-resolve siedges)
apart from setting strategical goals thats all, you want to expand in one place and chain-sack roman provinces in other place simnuntaneously and take over all of barbarian factions cos they requiere no conversion
but its just whatever real fun is playing romans
