Favorite unit!

[Arrowhead]

Well?
Who voted for what?

[The Stranger]

i voted for them spartans they are the best second i would go for foresters

[hundurinn]

I voted for Armoured Hoplites. They have good moral, very good armor and take only one turn to train and they look nice.

[The Stranger]

hah my superior spartans are still first only voted once btw

[katank]

For the tech level, I think spear warbands are the most OP unit.

With sacred circle of woden, they are truly amazing.

Town level unit that can give a good account of themselves against the Senate army is just insane. Combine them with screechers and you have the best early army around

[Uesugi Kenshin]

I said Companions, I am a junky for skill. For coolest unit ever it would have to be the Spartans, their name has become synonimous with skill, valor and anti-hedonism. Everybody loves a group that trains children to kill and can hold off a force a hundred or more times their size. Now if you gave them guns or tanks......

I love them so much.

You've got to admit, there's a reason why their unit size is so small, and its not historical accuracy.

[Lord Hammerschmidt]

Have to agree with Katank about the Spean Warbands being overpowered, but with my current campaign with Germania, I'm really loving them. Especially when I get to maul similar tech level units with them (Town Watch convert nicely to a small bit of cobblestone street).

[Akka]

Armoured Hoplites !

Look good, fight good.

[AquaLurker]

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.

[Uesugi Kenshin]

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.

[Seleucos I Nicator]

What! Theres no Silver Shield units? My favorite is the Silver Shield Pikemen. Other than that the Companions.

[Arrowhead]

Why silver shields? Spartans are better. this poll is regardless of cost or anything like that.

[The Stranger]

yeah i go with arrowhead did you voted for them you better did

[Ar7]

I went for Urban Cohort and with that voted for every other Roman infantry unit out there, the best and most versaille troops one can wish for, the men that made history

[Lonewarrior]

spartan hoptiles

[Uesugi Kenshin]

A hoplite base that gets attacked and then has companions flank the enemy will beat just about anything. With the AI this is easy to do, with humans I bet it is harder but when your cavalry can overpower any other unit on the field destroying enemyu cav to allow you to flank unmolested is easy. Works especially well with cheap hoplites, as long as they hold.


Especially against romans!

[Senta]

Spartans, by far...

[Arrowhead]

Not many voted for armoured eles.

[Lemur]

I voted for the armored eles, if only for the pure amusment factor. I know, they're not really the best unit, but they make me laugh. Something about sending tight formations of Roman scum flying into the air ...

After all, this is a game, and I'm supposed to be enjoying myself. SO let's hear it for the elephants!

[Dutch_guy]

Urban Cohort, bij far the best foot soldier, and well I just like the roman infantry units..can beat almost anything that's thrown at them ( with a decent general ) at least most infantry unit's, excluding armoured and spartan hoplites when attacking face on

[Claudius Maniacus Sextus]

1)Macedonian Cavalary(and i usualy HATE cav.)
2)Samnite Mercenaries
3)Cataphrachts Camel(ahh.....the smel of those camels drives mi women...argh Horse CARZY!!! )

!!!
PS:i cant vote!why??HELP pLEASsE

[mfberg]

1. Cat Archers
2. Cat Camels

[MoROmeTe]

The Sacred Band. Don't really know why. I think they should get more atention

[Uesugi Kenshin]

You8 have to be a member to vote, don't worry it does not take very long at all. It took me 2-3 weeks and from what I have heard I was an exception. It took me a while to get noticed. Once you hit 50-100 good quality posts just pm a moderator about it.

Companions! Just something about watching an enemy army buckle and run after 30 seconds of battle and 2 seconds of cavalry charge!

[The Stranger]

spartan hoptiles

'
cheers for my fellow spartans

[master of the puppets]

urbans definately
the most cracky of all crack troops they look cool fight well and inspire fellows would'nt it be cool if someone modded it so they chanted as the marched with each footstep "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE GLORY TO ROME DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE GLORY TO ROME" or something like that
suggestions...

[Wishazu]

i voted spartans. they look cool(if you download the official skin) and fight hard and never run away :)

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Spartans are my favorite infantry unit, next to Urbans. They can just hold back thopusands of enemies even when their formation is broken! Try using them with a no walls city v. desert infantry armies, max out the Spartans and only use 320 of them (4 units). You will probably fall in the end, but you hold out a really long time and kill way too many of them!

[Es Arkajae]

I was very partial to the Spanish Bull Warriors in 1.1.

But that was with the Primary weapon bug and so unbeknownst to me at first they had an attack stat of 17!

Add to that their bonus from warcry, aswell as the usual barbarian forest or wood bonus and they were incredible units on the attack as well as the defence.

Double hitpoints, Good stamina, fast and with a 17+ attack from their javelins they were awesome to use in battle, they were certainly the strongest Barbarian foot unit, and as barbarians could access them a lot sooner then the two concerned civilised factions could access Spartans and Urban Cohorts Bull Warriors for much of the game were the strongest infantry units of all.

I'll re-evaluate my opinion of them once I've had a chance to play 1.2 for a while.~)
