    I think I would be a nice Persian cavalryman or horse archer... I would stay away from melee as much as possible.

    I cant decide.
    Captain of a Quinquirreme, I think. Land is good, but sea is better.

    I think I would be Carthaginian or Roman. I know its a bit of a opposite, but hey.

    My second choice would have been Praetorian cavalryman.

    Hhhmmmm, definatly Sacred Band Cavalry during the second punic war :D
    There are either 2 things which can happen, either your send of with Hannibal, one of the few generals you can be sure off not to trow your life away, and he loved his cavalry, so chances are, I live :D The other possibility is that you aren't sent along with Hannibal and you have to remain at the temple and prouncing around a bit on your beautiful horse and armor and attracting all the beautiful young girls...

    oh, and don't forget about that you probally join in the fun of holy prostitution with the temple virgins too :D

    And did i mention you are very rich too??
    Definatly the place I'd like to make my career :D

    One place I definatly wouldn't want to be is any roman legion during the second punic war :P That just doesn't sound like a good place to make a career for yourself :P

    Leader of the Spartan Hopolites. Sounds like a good job. I would spread the word around greece how to beat the romans, then lead the invasion of rome, and win. Then become king.

    spartan for the respect and fear
    urban cohort for the power and skill
    assasin for the shear fun of it
    an elephant driver for nice squishing sound
    a general for the command and authority
    and with any of those the ability to die with honor

    It would be the Cataphract Camels for me... they're so far up the tech tree that I'd never be built!

    Or maybe join up as one of the bodyguard of a family member who's such a good administrator that they're never risked in battle and left to govern one of the major cities.

    I think I will be a Cataphract archer (don’t like hand to hand) or a mercenary captain of some kind.
