The ancient era certainly is a fun time period to play in! :D

As a cavalry afficianado....I never thought I'd enjoy leading phalanx's so much. (As Macedon.) Naturally, I can still use my cavalry, but I'm depending on a lot of different units and different strategies. (Every faction will require you to change your strategy. XD) I'm also really enjoying Egypt and the Brit's ranged chariots. Fun stuff. :D Definitely a time period full of depth. And with the promise of plenty of battles and war.
