What unit do you just smile or feel confident when you see them on the field on your side? They can be your old faithful, the foundation of your formations, really versatile or just plain cool looking!

for me it is the Thrakian Peltast


To me, personally, they are the coolest looking unit in the entire game. They look rugged, dark armor and cape and a damn scythe! They are incredibly versatile as warriors as they are better peltasts than any other Hellenic Peltast i've used and are very reliable infantry and usually do a great job of holding the line, or better yet, flanking.

As Epeiros playing as Syrakuse migration campaign, i can't yet train these guys myself. But a certain general of mine has always been accompanied by at least 2 Units of these guys, going personally to Helles to handpick any replacements. I always have this cool thought that they are this feared and respected arm of my Syrakusan army, as they are regarded as barbaroi by everyone else but they would never tell them that to their face as they are only kept back by their allegiance to my Agrianne General (i don't know if historically Agriannes and Thrakians got along or what, but ill assume theyll cooperate more with a 'barbarian' than a Molossos or Hellen)
