I can crush those with a couple of Polybian Hastati

O really, hoplitai haploi in guard mode tying your hastati and sphendonetai bombarding their backs. Face it, the only way to reliably counter them is catass frontal charge

of course, microing with anything will work for that stupid AI, but anyway, Hoplitai-slinger combo always work well in EB against any AI except cataphracts

Having played four campaigns recently in western Europe (Sweboz, Arverni, Romani and koinon) I have found that these guys are extremely versatile. AP-axes (which is a must against the romani who usually spams triariis and elite allied infantry), good stamina and good defense.



Also, these guys are a must if you're playing Sweboz:

I think Jewish Spearmen might take the spot for one of my favorites now. Just got to Jerusalem and they are a reliable line infantry unlike ANYTHING else the Sabyn have. Yeah I can get Nobles... from across the desert. And Red Sea Hoplites have proven to be absolutely worthless

Yeah, Ioudai Taxeis are a great line unit in the Levant if you don't want to use phalanxes but need something with decent staying power and good morale.

Yeah the are definitely going to be a mainstay in my army when i can actually build an army again.
