When the map designer specifies the size
of the attacking army, Caesar 3 uses different formulas for each type of
army to calculate the number of type 2 forces that are used. For
example, if you ask for 20 Carthaginians the player of your game will see
2 elephants and 18 men at arms attack. This is calculated using a
predeternined ration of 10 : 1 for the Carthaginians.
There are four formulas used to configure Barbarian armies. Each
of these formula use the ratio of the number of Men at Arms (type 1 units)
verses the Auxiliaries (type 2 units) to build armies of different looks
and capabilities. Each barbarian army uses the same formula all the
time, and every army will use one of these four types:

maximum packing at 96+ solders and have a maximum of 4 extra solders in
all 6 armies with a 120 maximum attack.
