Aye, your weapons and aliies are, indeed, strong. Fortunately for us, we have allies as well. I give you the Savior of the Celts!Quote:

Looking at all these Keltoi screens is making me want to play a Aedui campaign! And this is coming from a serious Romani fanboy!
Fav unit=Eqvites Extraordinarii!
if you want to beat each other with pictures in a game, there's a topic in the frontroom. Could we please stay on topic?
Anyway the best unit type ingame is obviously the phalanx for infantry and cataphract horse archers. Though the second maybe expensive, a lot of of medium phalanx units can beat the crap out of most and are cost efficient.
EDIT:EDIT Yes this is spam I am moving this to the tavern.
So what if Chuck Norris was a GaesataeQuote:

I have always liked the Maco Agrianes.
I've been getting into the Armenian palette of troops, and the Georgian Medium Inf are a satisying stack filler for me. I get a solid confident feeling taking on the AS with 4 of these guys on my flanks, especially if I get the chance to run the silver b******s up and down some mountains before engaging.
However in the spirit of the ongoing Hellas vs Keltoi debate, I'd like to add this point: the Kelts overan Greece but the Greeks never made it to Ireland:2thumbsup:
...which probably shows they had some sense...
Off topic, but I gotta apologize. I was having soooo much fun with the whole picture war thing and got carried away. :sweatdrop:
I'm sorry, everyone. :shame:
Back on topic now --
The Massilian holites are one of my favorite units, too.
But why do they only fight with swords, at least in my game? The only edits I've done is 0 upkeep and 1-turn recruitment.
Press alt when ordering them to attack.Quote:

Greetings from switzerland
ps: sry for double posts
My fav troops are whatever Rome can muster.
ROME>ALL OTHER CIVS
I like most of what exists out there, but I am particularely fond of cataphracts. :)
And as a side note:
Oh my, I really hate the Hetairoi Kataphraktoi (sp?).
They chew up anything I can muster as Hayasdan, and already crushed two of my armies around Susa.
And yes, it's cause of them.
Most of the troops Bactria had was levies, but 2 units of those sure make a difference against my persian influenced armies. :(
my getai falxmen can whip your puny romans into whipped cream..... then we'll eat it! :smash:Quote:

You mean more like, grabbing the shaft of the Pila and beating the Romans to death with it?
For awesomeness of skin, amazingness of killing and the fact that I once assembled 200 of these guys to fight in a 60-unit battle - the Eqvites Consvlares. When I lead them at what I call the 'Great Hellenic War' in which Rome, the Arche Seleukia (allied to rome), the Ptolemaioi and Baktria (on the side of Ptolomaios) the carnage was such that out of ten (yes, ten) characters that fought for a free Ptolomaic empire and seven Roman-allied commanders, all seven foes died and only the lord of Seleukia fell on the roman side, thanks to a massive charge at the end of the battle which routed the enemy line. The Ptolomaic state collapsed immediatly after due to all of its characters having been killed.
The best units for me are the Belgae Milnaht and Batacorii, lead a army of only Belgae troops, apart from 3 units of archers and conquered half of germania
Indeed, that works too.Quote:

...Now all he needs is a giraffe, and a Bactrian camelophant in order to succeed with his nefarious scheme:
