Favorite phalanx-based faction?

[Knight of Heaven]

Oh im afraid i got to say Arche Seleukeia is the better by far, i mean if you are up to the chalange, its very hard to play with them becouse the regions are very wide spread, and you have alot of enemys but i like the roster, include everthing. kataphracts, hetarioi, wide choice of phalanxes, very good heavy infantry, Syrian archers etc etc.
i hv been playing with Makedonia, and Epeiros. Epeiros is fun, and hard at the beginning. Makedonia is fairly easy.
The ptolomaoi there is no juice on the gameplay.
The best heavy cav in the game is no doubt Hetarioi. multiplayer gamers can vouch for that.
