If violence didn't solve your problem... well, you just haven't been violent enough.
Urban Cohort.
Very well rounded units, in fact too well rounded and reliable to a point that makes them seem cheaty.
They can take on phalanx, screwing those buggers with pilum before the melee, hold against cataphracts charges(1 vs1), beat the crap out of armoured elephants (1vs1) and disassemble bloody chariots easily plus they are still more maneuverable compared to hoplites type troops.
If there is a second fav I will go for screeching womens, very useful for 1.2k games.
Yeah, but Urbans do not hold against Companions, at least not my Seluecid companions. At that tech level you should have a good war temple and blacksmith stuff anyway.
The Berserkers are great fun. I love pitting one group of them against a huge army on a bridge. No trouble holding for quite a while, especially if you send them in after your troops have worn the enemy down a bit.
