    I like to roleplay a lot with the KH, investing my Money in Huge fleets and ridiculous Buildings rather than more Epilektoi. I don't think I have a lot of those at all, mostly in my western(classical) Support armies as I can't give all of them Spartiatai. While my eastern armies normally have less hoplitesque elites.

    I do like to use a lot of Thorakitai and Thureophoroi when playing other Hellenic Factions or parthains for that matter. mainly because I'm not quite that fond of Phalangites as the Successors were.

    They ended up being an amazing cavalry screen in the MP mod. Fast enough to keep up with horses, javelins keep enemies away, spears counter cav.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    YES! Finally someone understands why I have so many cavalry on my suggested stack.

    Don't you find having a lot of cavalry makes things rather easy?

    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
