Hard to beat armored elephants in terms of sheer pageantry. Head Hurlers are nice and gross, though.

Cavalry would be Sacred Band, and for Infantry I like the Agaema P. or whatever those Greek units who didn't make the game are called.

I'm highly partial to Sarmatians Mercs.

Edit: They're the same as Scythian Nobles, but without the orange. ~;)

You're all wrong, Easern Infantry are the coolest. I mean, these guys go to war in PURPLE PAJAMAS!! Now THAT takes some balls my friends.

Balls blue with years of no usage, my friend :D.

Screaming women.

It's the nearest RTW gets to naked square breasted women.

Other than that, I think that the Wardogs are coolest, especially when chasing the Gallic general from the field...they look so tiny and cute, but angry and vicious at the same time!

Ohhh... I have a love for the Companions. Those feathered helmets are just too cool.

In infantry I simply can't ignore the Samnites. So clean and simple, yet they have the coolest shield.

for cavalry has to be sacred band.
intresting to note that no one has said any roman units

Armoured Hoplites get my vote, I loved a nice full stack army of those backed by some of the sorry arse Greek calvery & some of their weak archers.

infantry: uh armored hoplites or pionin spearmen or urbans...i can't chose
cavalry the choice is clear cut companion cavalry

I mentioned the Samnites, who I more or less consider Roman as they can only be recruited in Roman lands and their description mentions that they often would fight for the Romans. So while it isn't a Roman Roman unit, it is along the lines of the Auxilia I think.

Cavalry? Go Companion!
Infantry? (Armoured) Hoplite Rules!

I'd say the Warhounds. I'm sure I wouldn't want dogs that large coming after me!!!

Cataphracts, man, those armoured horses are just way cool.

Mountaindew
01-15-2005, 08:17
i have to say the cataphracts look cool...there is no other unit, that i have seen, that has been covered head to toe in armour, not even armour elephants...they look evil when u look at their faces...more helmets than faces...

my vote also goes to the armour hoplites as well ~D

Desert infantry are the coolest.
And don't anybody make any smartass jokes about it not being cool in the desert.
