    Default Best Sword, Spear, Missile and Horse?

    If you were to build a dream team of the best units in RTW what would be the Best Sword, Best Spear, Best Missle and Best Horse for you?

    I havent tried all factions so Im a bit limited but
    Best Sword: Falxmen (these guys still give my Roman troops nightmares)
    Best Spear: Spartan Hoplites
    Best Missile: Balearic Slingers (nice kill rate and they dont massacre as much as their own men like the Cretan Archers)
    Best Horse: Sacred Band Cavalry

    Best Sword: Urban Cohort (cheat, but eh)
    Best Spear: Spartan Hoplite (no explanation needed)
    Best Missle: Forester Warband (I love these guys, especialy for their hit and run capablities)
    Best Horse: I have to go with Cataphract, they just look so cool.

    IMHO

    Sword: Urbies
    Spear: Spartans
    Missile: Tie with Foresters and Chosens
    (Chosens have better armor and melee)
    Axe: Chosen Axemen or Berserkers (ugh another tie)
    Sling: Balearics or Rhodians
    Horse: Cataphracts
    Chariot: Amazons (look it up!)
    Skirmisher: Spanish Mercs
    HA: Scythian Noble Archers (duh)
    Stealth: Arcani

    Well, that was a bit spur of the moment and not to well thought out, but what the heck.
