Your favorite unit

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.

Eastern slingers. They're god send when playing as Armenia, dirt cheap and do loads of dmg to the sele spam armies of doom.
I don't really have any heavy cav prefferences, the armenian heavy cav are good, but compared to my lovely insanely high xp'ed slingers? no chance :p (although i do use heavy cav extensively to take out generals and breaking the last elites :D)

But they need at least 4-5 points of exp chevron to have a scratch on elites.
ANOTHER REBEL SCUM! HUNT THEM DOWN

You will like ai rebels, no matter which faction I play I always use them as my cannon fodder for my slingers or archers.

Worgozez. DEFINITLY! If we're speaking ONLY about main units, I'd have to say... Gosh, the whole Sweboz roster! Even their levy kick asses when the temples Deiwoz temple is upgraded to the max! you train silver chevron units, fresh out of teh factory! but I've a special hit for teh slogonez. Those club units will hack through anything wearing armour!

By the time the seles are throwing elites at me i usually have 3-4 slingers with 1 gold chevron, they're escorted around the battlefield by a fam member while the rest hunt down the enemy cavalry/ archers, once the latter is done, i simply move my inf slowly back so my slingers can shoot the seleucids to pieces :D

Later game i do however switch them out with some AP meele units, too much of a hazzle to micro manage them when i got income enough to actually replace lost untis :p
