    Default If you were an EB unit, what would you be?

    Let your fantasies speak!
    PS:No "jokes" with Gaesatae, Tindanotae, Uirudusios, Woithiz Watha and anything else I might have forgotten!

    I would've been a Cordinau Orca. Very heavily armoured and with a vicious curved blade! I'd prefer it to Dosidataskeli types because the armor is a bit.. Too much, I could hardly breathe in it. And I don't think I'd be too comfortable with a horse or an elephant!

    EDIT: I would *like to be* Cordinau Orca. But I would probably have been Hoplitai.

    A Diplomat, of course. Well paid, safe, and quite important in the matters of daily business.

    but before i became a diplomat? i'd be a Baktrian Pezheitaroi no doubt. A man granted land expanding the frontier of civilization.

    Well they were not always that safe.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_I...t_Illyrian_War

    Pezhetairoi sounds like a fine idea though, before the Yuezhi invasion, that is.

    That is for the Basileus to decide, what if he prefers you as Psiloi?

    For me? I guess Argyraspides. I live as a lion to reach this well respected position with a lot of campaigns and rewards behind me. We fight till the end and stand in the position of honour of the main line.

    To command under one of the better Seleukid commanders would be my preference, seeing a lot of the cultural/natural diversity the empire has to offer over the years.

    I lived for three years not knowing what AAR is.

    My experiences playing Mount & Blade would have me believe that I wouldn't want to be anything other than part of a well-armed cavalry unit.
    When a battle goes south, it'll be the cavalry that'll live to fight another day!

    Turning tail and run eh? :D
    Just joking ^^

    If it's about what would I be, at the present moment I think I'd be a Jugunthiz :P
    If it's what I'd like to, well my user-name tells it :)

    Given my situation, I'd probably be a Juguntiz. Am pretty decent with a javelin in terms of range, so....

    ... But if this was the end time frame, I'd probably be drafted into the Roman Legion instead to intimidate Italians with my tall stature, blond hair and fair skin so as to remind them that while they might not approve of their Emperor's bunga-bunga parties, it is really none of their business to approve of anything the great warlord says or does nor of how much money he takes for himself.
