Which EB unit would you want to be in real life

[ibleedgrenchese]

Just like the thread Which EB unit would you want to be in real life. just no general units because who wouldn't want to be them but everyone else is fair game.

Personally i think a Casse Champion the gangsta's and pimps of the barbarian world

[Celtic_Punk]

I'd want to be goillic noble cavalry.
or some sort of heavy cavalry.

[||Lz3||]

Gaesatae::tongue2:

emm... no not really... I guess...

a Praetorian Guard :cool4:

better yet a Praetorian Prefect :smash:

how did you got that pic? I tried to get mine but I just couln't find where :sweatdrop:

[Majd il-Romani]

The Druhtiz Bastarniska, just cause they look so badass with their falx or a Praetorian cause they plain are badass

THIS IS SPARTA!


:shame:

[ibleedgrenchese]

good picks maybe a member of the hertaroi Companion Cavalry also that shit would be NIIIICCEEE

[Cambyses]

I think I would join the Ptolemy/Seleucid navy, not as a rower of course, that would suck...

Being in charge of a ship bigger than many small islands would make me feel nice and important I guess.

[Celtic_Punk]

i wouldnt want to have been a spartan... too hard of a life... plus i dont think greek culture and I would mix well haha... Celtic warriors were renowned for bravery (if foolhardy) so im fine with that :D

[stupac]

Probably just your average horse archer in a nomadic army, you get to run around a shoot at peeps, anyone comes close to you, just run off. Sounds cowardly, but hey, it had a good victory record.

[Khazar_Dahvos]

I would definitely be in a Galatikoi Tindanotae band or maybe one of the less psychotic celtic or galatian unit's. On second thought I would either be in Galatikoi Lavotuxri (Galatian Heavy Cavalry) or the Galatikoi Kuarothoroi (Galatian Heavy Spearmen)

[satalexton]

i don't mind so long as i have a high chance of survival....preferably not a greek tho, don't like the idea of getting #$%^&*&^%ed just cuz i had to bend over to pick up something i dropped.....>_>

[HopliteElite]

I'd be a Kretan Archer. A mercenary and also a well trained archer, I could typically avoid direct combat, while making good money. If things got too hairy I could always escape and then sell my services to the victor, as well.

[The General]

I've always had a love affair with lance-mace-bow-cataphracts.

Almost certain never to go into battle and get yourself killed and the bonus of being decently well off. In other words the middle-class white male of the period :clown::clown:

[Che Roriniho]

Me? Baktrian bodyguard. If times are tough. you can always have a nibble on the palm leaf.

[tapanojum]

Hai Noble Cavalry, and eventually take command and use my knowledge of the future to build a Greater Hayastan
Disco for everyone!

[schlappi]

I'd invent stirrup and horseshoes and become the most fabled cavalry general in history.

Or something like that :D

Elephant of course, whats better then having people ride you while shooting there stuff all over! :laugh4:

[roman]

Wargōzez, enough said.

[Conqueror]

Rider. Specifically, I'm the unseen 3rd guy in the howdah, ducking for cover :hide:

You are important enough that they care for your supply. You get paid comparatively well (I think), you are kept out of danger most of the time and if danger arises, you are prepared. Oh, and most importantly, there is no danger to fall off a horse.

A giant, muscular, naked, hairy, crazy dude high as hell on god-knows-what and charging into battle armed only with a gigantic sword and no fear of death whatsoever...

Yeah. That's the one for me. :grin2:

[The Persian Cataphract]

Take a guess.

[fenix3279]

Lz....u better take that back....i sense an angry horseman coming at you with a rubber fist.....>_>

[russia almighty]

Take a guess.


A cataphract camel named Sally.

[Justinian II]

Take a guess.

Oh! I know this one! It's...um....how do you say...."Heavy Panzer Horse of Death-Bringing" again? :-)


For me, I'd probably go with a Cataphract as well...or, failing that, a Dahae rider....

[Havok.]

I could be this too
https://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm286/AmonAmarth16/sweboz_skaduganganz.gif

and i can become more or less like this ones too

If I actually lived in that time period, id prolly end up as a freed slave :beam:

Kataphraktoi.


I'm rich bitch

[a completely inoffensive name]

Praetorian Guard definately. the best troops in the best army of the ancient world seems to be the unit i would want to be in.

[Tellos Athenaios]

With a slightly better-than-average understanding of math & physics I'd probably get drafted into the siege engineers, likely some very junior (because I'm not brilliant at either) post. Suits me fine.

But considering my actual location I'd probably end up being the guy working on the Frisian pirate ehm, mercantile ships... <_<

[Xehh II]

Basilikon Agema or Galatikoi Kleruchoi all the way.

[Hax]

Since my heritage is quite mixed up (1/2 Dutch, 1/4 Turkish, 1/4 Algerian) I could have ended up with these guys

Yuezhi horse-archers: We've pretty much traced back our Mongolian heritage as well.

Cappadocian hillmen: My family in Anatolia would probably have been drafted into military service at some point.

Some-spear-wielding Belgian: Since we lived south of the rhine, there is a great chance that when the Romans invaded, my family here was drafted into service to wipe out these invaders.

[Che Roriniho]

Praetorian Guard definately. the best troops in the best army of the ancient world seems to be the unit i would want to be in.

There's also a pretty good chace of becoming Emporer if you're in the Praetorian Guard, albeit, not for long >.<

[General Appo]

The coolest guys in the game: Agrianikoi Pelekephoroi

https://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee276/GeneralAppo/epe_agrianiai_pellek.gif

Fights with freaking axes, got javelins, cool helmets, equally cool shields and armour, bigasss greaves. Both their axes and greaves are modified to be used as climbing tools as well as weapons, they are famed for their acrobatic skills, and have a rather advanced martial arts training, as well as being famous javelineers, and fanatic soldiers who often lose themselves in a battle frenzy. How much freaking cooler can you get? These guys are like Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris in one unit, armed with axes and able to scale sheer surfaces. Freaking awesome, no wonder Alexander conquered the world with these badasses at his command.

Now, considering where I live and what my heritage is, I guess I would be a Druhtiz Skandzisku
https://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee276/GeneralAppo/sweboz_druhtiz_skandzisku-1.gif

Pretty cool as well, but nothing to the Agrianians.

Who can recruit these guys?

Epiros and Macedonia in Pella, Serdike and Tylis.

MS Word. They would be my choice as well.

[Zarax]

Considering my origins: https://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/units/kart-hadast/ele_nuraghi.gif

With a bit of luck I could end up being one of those guys: https://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/units/kart-hadast/kart_picked_libypho.gif

[Hax]

What units are those? I've never seen them before.

[Zarax]

You should know them, nuragic infantry and liby-phoenician agema

[Hax]

Phoenician scum.

I don't deal with child-murderers :P

But seriously, they look pretty cool. Do you have north-African origins?

[Zarax]

Nuragic scum in that case.
I'm Sardinian and trying to improve the historical accuracy in various mod about that tiny little island in western mediterranean...

[Martelus Flavius]

Considering my origins I'll probably be one of thoses... (If I was lucky enough to survive...)

But If I was to follow my wish I'll be one of those :

Evocati

There is a lot of good reasons to this, and among them the fact you're immunes... No more Ad latrinas apparently... :-P

[Megas Pyrrhos]

I'd want to be the Greek medium cavalry, the Hippeis. I'd probably be well off if not slightly rich, wouldn't get used in any major heavy combat, probably paid well, and can run away real fast if it all starts to hit the fan, as it were.

EDIT: Besides I've always fancied myself a hippie.

[Megas Methuselah]

I would so obviously be in the Massalian Royal Guard!!! Semi-hellenized Solduros make extreme bad-asses... :skull:

https://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff252/Methuselah18/EpeiroteSolduros.jpg

[Col.Kurtz]

Naked Fanatic - It's so f**ing hot these days :sweatdrop:

[mlc82]

Ideally, either a cataphract of some sort, armored to the teeth and impervious to the blows I receive while smashing, rending and slaughtering my enemies in droves.

or

At the opposite end, some sort of well armed mounted archer with a VERY fast horse, able to shoot down enemies from a safe distance and run the hell away before being caught!

Also a great likelyhood that I'd inadvertently end up some sort of Gaesatae as well-looking on my younger days, when faced with physical confrontation, I had a scary tendency to really just go berzerk, sort of see red, and become 100% aggressive without a thought for my own well being left- really weird, I was a skinny little 145lb guy at the time and actually scared off several guys much bigger/stronger than myself, that could have easily twisted me into a pretzel. Fear does strange things to me sometimes.

I understand completely!!! I only weigh 140lb and have experienced the red mist on several occasions. Skinny guys fight to the burger!!!! The human psyche is a very powerful tool indeed!!!! The fear of something small but fierce coming after you without worry of physical harm sends a red flag to the brain because its insanity to stand in its way!!!!:scared:

[General Appo]

I´ve encountered many small furious guys coming at me in a frenzy. A straight right to the nose usually brings them back to reality.

[Majd il-Romani]

with some luck and according to my Arab ethnicity, I would be the Lo'hamim Azzilim (Sabean Noble Infantry)

If those small guys were smart they would come at you like JACK DEMPSEY. :boxing:

He fights a dude like twice as tall and 65 pounds bigger than him. More knockdowns than ive ever seen in a modern fight.

[Fondor_Yards]

https://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/units/baktria/bak_baktrioi_agema.gif

Either these guys, defending the edge of culture and civilization from uncivilized hordes, or

https://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/units/ptolemaioi/ptol_kleruchikon_agema.gif

One of those guys. Go from a farmer or whatever in Greece to Egypt and have the government hand me tons of money, a pile land of land, and peasants to make me even richer and never need to work again. Only need to fight even the shit is really going down or to slaughter foolish rebels.

https://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/units/ptolemaioi/ptol_kleruchoi_cav_agema.gif

Possibly these guys, cause all of the about and look more kick ass.
