Which EB Unit Would You Be In?

[socal_infidel]

Out of curiosity, if you could be a soldier in any EB unit, which unit would it be? And why?

Me? Grivpanvar easily. Just look at them...they just had to know they were the best.




Your turn.

[satalexton]

The pantodapoi, the best unit there ever was xD.

Easy training, good pay, just stand and point the sharp end of the stick at the enemy xD

[Hooahguy]

the Cordinau Orca....
these guys just rock!

[fenix3279]

Neitos. All around badasses

[General Appo]

Well, I´d most likely be part of the Druhtiz Skandzisku (Scandinavian Spearmen).

What I want to be in? Don´t know, maybe the Cohors Praetoriana (Cohort of the Imperial Praetorian Guard)


Good pay, little to do, good chance of career advancement, nice enviroment, get to hang out with celebrities. Sounds like a nice job.

[The General]

Any somewhat-armoured fast-moving very good stamina-possessing horse archer unit is good.

[Jaume]

Probably a Toxotai (an archer). Shooting from a distance without risk yourself.

[Africanvs]

A soldier in Octavian (Augustus) Caesar's bodyguard. That way I know I'll never see combat, but I'll get to watch every battle, gain all the glory, and march in every triumph.

I think that most of us here would be peasants hiding in the bushes, this topic is more "Which unit would you want to be in"

Yeah, that's what I meant. Perhaps, could have made it more clear. So which would it be?

[mini]

gaesetae, so i can shock italians with massive 'equipment'

[Power2the1]

I'd like to be in the Gaesatae or Soldurii. Exclusive warrior band sworn to battle for glory and fame.

I thought it was kind of funny how your screename is "mini"

[mini]

it refers to the cars.. (a)

[eggthief]

In that case, Aorsi Noble Cavalry for the win.

[Gnaeus Servilius]

LOL That's the oldest one in the book.

Prodromoi. Not too heavily armoured but pack a decent punch.

[Maion Maroneios]

I would say an Hypaspistes, deffinately. Excellent payment, elite status, my own kleros, my own slaves so I an focus on my training. I mean, just look at those guys!

Aren't they just gorgeous?

[Cadwalader]

General's bodyguard for a good general. I would most likely just be there for show, unless something unexpected occured. It would propably be even better to be a bodyguard for a governor. Being a Sweboz general's bodyguard would propably mean lots of games and drinking. Perfect!

[abou]

Now the real question: which unit could you actually afford to be in?

[Maion Maroneios]

Now the real question: which unit could you actually afford to be in?

Hmmm, probably just an hoplites or phalangites with average equipment

[Hooahguy]

hmmm..... pantodapoi....

[Hax]

Now the real question: which unit could you actually afford to be in?

I'd probably either be in some Anatolian sheep-fuc-- *ahem* I'd be in some Anatolian skirmisher's or hoplite unit, or a Garamantine unit, OR a Yuezhi unit.

[Poulp']

any kind of artillery
the bigger the better
or,
riding the fastest horse, standing on the highest hill, ready to run... tactically withdraw into the densest woods.

[d'Arthez]

If I had something resembling an aim, I'd be a Saka foot archer.

But I'd probably would have ended up as a pet idiot to some nutjob.

Well if u aim low then the chance of a dissapointment should be pretty slim. The only thing worse would be to become a m2tw priest who is secretly female I guess.

[d'Arthez]

I would probably be that archer that on occassion manages to kill someone on MY team.

[Frodge]

Hetairoi obviously, under a competent commander though, no-one is gonna charge me head first into a phalanx.

[Dhampir]

The slightly overweight naked fanatic scholar infantry. Really low attack points because we're not terribly strong and swords are heavy. Poor armor because we're naked and sunburned. The special attack is where we attack a city, scale the walls and go read in the library.

[Krusader]

Now the real question: which unit could you actually afford to be in?

Definitely Athenian warship as an oarsman. Nice way of paying one's debts.

[General Appo]

Afford to be in? He, might as well go all the way with this.
Well, for Rome, probably the whole Hastati, Principes, Triarii thingy, I think I´d be counted wealthy enough for that. As for Greeks, maybe a normal Hoplitai, after all, they are drawn from well to-do citizens.
As for the Seleukids, I´d probably be (counting that I´m of Hellenic descendancy) an Pezhetairos, bordering on Prodromos, seeing as how many nobles there were of that kind.
For Ptolemais, the same as the Sele´s, though maybe I´d be an Galatikoi Kleruchoi.
As Makedonia, probably just a Hoplitai or Pezhetairoi, nothing exciting.
For Luso, either Gestikapoinann or Scortamareva.
For Getai, either Tarabostes or Komatai Thorakitai Stratiotai.
For Sab´yn, probably Abbir Ezra'him.
For Pahlava, maybe Dehbed Asavara.
For Pontos, either the normal Hoplitai, the Lonchophoroi Hippeis or If I´m really cool, the Galatikoi Kuarothoroi.
For Sweboz, most likely Herunautoz.
For Sauromatae, I guess I´m bordering on one of the many Noble HA´s.
Same goes for Saka-Rauka, but in Indo-Saka days maybe I´d be an Hoplitai Hellenikon.
As Karthadastim I´d likely be a member of the Carthaginian Citizen Cavalry, as long as I was a Carthaginian citizen, were I Libyan or something else, that would change of course.
As Hayasdan, maybe the Mardig Sooseramartik.
As Epeiros, Hoplitai or Pez.
As Casse, maybe the Botroas.
As Baktria, the Pez or Hoplitai Indohellenikoi seems likely.
And as Aedui and Arverni, the Bataroas.
