There's a trick to refine your coward soldiers. Raise a legion in a land with panicky or weak couraged nation than move it into a land with fierce people and sea coast. Build a fleet with only one trireme than move your bad legion onto it. The game will prompt that most of the soldiers will remain on land because they will not fit into the ship.
And that's it! They will meld with the original population and become fierce.
This way you can fill up the fierce countries wih people where you can strenghten your other legions after it. Beware of adding more people to the population than the country's maximum capacity because the extra people will disappeare. Italy may be the best choice with its max. capacity of 7000 people or more.(Sorry I can't remember exactly.)
Have fun!
