    Cretan and Caucasian archers for me. Almost all Cretans I have are mercenaries because I never build up the barracks in Crete.

    Any Celtic unit, really. I get them any time I can, and when I can't, I long for them. It's a good thing they are available almost everywhere at least as mercenaries if nothing else.

    Drapanai, certainly. Good thing they're cheap as dirt.

    And when I'm not playing as Getai, I can recruit the mercenary equivalents (Druhtiz Bastarnisku).

    Hello to all. I've been playing EB mostly with romans and maks but I end up always hiring the same mercs: kretans and the galatian version of the Geasatea. this last ones may be very expensive but they are worth it. On my factional rooster as roman I would say that Pedites ext. are the ones I rely on. On average army I use 2 units but will go up to 4 if I expect a hard fight. Not very accurate from a historic point view...but I can't resist. As Maks, usualy I stick with levy phalanxs. They can hold a line long enough for me to use other units for flanking manouvers. Specialy if the flankers are those galatians berserkers.

    Three Celtic units I always have time for are Iaosatae, Curepos/Leuce Epos and Keltohellenikoi. All widely available as mercs, which is one of the things that makes them so good.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR
