Which civilization has the best unit roster in your opinion.

[seleucid empire]

While Carthage is an enjoyable campaign, and their military diverse and of good quality in addition to access to some fantastic regional troops, I dont feel like they really excels anywhere.

From your user name I would assume that you really like the Hellenic civs, especially the Seleucids. So I assume you have a very particular strategy that you are very good at based around fighting with phalanxes and super elite cavalry, which if executed right, can be unspeakably devastating. My tactics are based around heavy infantry with ranged support and a few cavalry to mop up routers and possibly to some routing charges. Both of these tactics are highly effective in their own way but has shaped what we think are the best units.

I think we should put our money where our mouths are and meet on the field of battle sometime to test our tactics on the matter.

carthage excels at everything which is why i consider them dangerous

The thing that I like about phalanxes is Campaign durability. If I were playing against another player for only One battle I would much rather have Carthage or the Romans to be honest (and maybe 1-2 units of phalanxes since i found 1-2 units very effective in holding the elite units and since they dont make up your main battle line, your line will still be flexible). And also, I don't use as much elite heavy cavalry as most other players. I only really use 2 units of cavalry in my standard armies (either one light, one heavy or 2 medium) so In a way I play Hellenic factions the same way that you play Romans. I use infantry to do the work and my heavy only for the coup de grace. Its more effective that way.

I know this sounds like a weird tactic for a Hellenistic faction but I guarantee with enough practice, this method will work against any enemy (I first developed it fighting a steppe faction. Since they usually do a lot of damage even in defeat, I reformed my army and instead of standard infantry and cavalry, I used faster infantry and only one or two medium cavalry units. Also I find that now I am suffering far less casualties with a more balanced army.

The last time I played multi-player was over a year ago. I used to play with my friend but I have since deleted and reinstalled EB several times. I have forgotten how to set up multiplayer games (my current Eb cant play multiplayer). In those games I played with my friend tho, I lost whenever there was a Rome vs Seleukid clash or a Carthage vs Seleukid clash, although I did manage to best him Anything else vs. Seleukids
