Which EB Unit Would You Be In?

[socal_infidel]

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)

[Gnaeus Servilius]

LOL That's the oldest one in the book.

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

In that case, Aorsi Noble Cavalry for the win.

[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!

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

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.

[Krusader]

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.

I think it is important to remember just how expensive it is to raise and manage a horse. In Rome there was only one group considered wealthier than those of eques status: those who qualified as senators.

Right now I could probably count myself as a euzonos with a helmet. After I get my DVM I could hopefully afford enough to be an upper-end hoplite. There is one member on the team that, assuming stocks don't keep falling, could probably get away as a heavy cavalryman of some kind.

Of course, historically this all depends on where you are.

An example would be that piss-poor farmer in Hellas could be a full-on phalangite if he migrated to Baktria. Plenty of opportunity, land to have, and bronze for armor is cheap because Baktria had tin mines.

[Long lost Caesar]

Pedites Extrodinarii all the way man. Funny helmet, badass uniform (minus the helmet ) great pay and mama's home cooking when I come from war. Cosa Nostra and all that

[Spartan198]

Amazon warrior women!

No, kidding. Spartiatai Hoplitai, of course.

[duncan.gill]

Umm...a diplomat so that I could avoid any fighting, get to eat good food and gain experience just from talking to people!

[PershsNhpios]

Apeleutheroi.. God damn those men get angry.

[Tyrfingr]

Most likely I would be part of the Druhtiz Skandzisku (as I am from Sweden)

I would however prefer to be part of the wargonez
