Who do you play as?

Currently, I mean, and why?

I'm wondering this as I've just been checking the AAR forum here (which is great BTW) and it seems not many people play Rome these days, which is also great in a way.

I also have one unrelated question: I remember when I last played EB aaaaaages ago that some Greek generals had Spartan hoplites as bodyguards, and I just fought a greek army with a Spartan commander and he had the Strategou bodyguard, has it been taken out? IIRC the old spartan units were really powerful, is that why?
