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.

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

The coolest guys in the game: Agrianikoi Pelekephoroi

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

Pretty cool as well, but nothing to the Agrianians.
